Kell Brook warned by former World Champion Ricky Hatton not to take Senchenko lightly!

Kell Brook warned by former World Champion Ricky Hatton not to take Senchenko lightly!

This week Kell Brook did an open public workout in his hometown in Sheffield at the Meadowhall Shopping Centre ahead of his bout against the conqueror of former world champ, Ricky Hatton. Brook will be boxing Viacheslav Senchenko on the 26^th October.

Kell Brook looked in tremendous shape and here’s what he had to say, “I’m feeling great, fantastic. It really gets me up when I come to Meadowhall, seeing all the fans come out.”

“Training’s gone really well and I’m ready. I know its fight week, I can’t wait, and I’m counting the days down now. I’ve got a lot of respect for Senchenko, he’s a proven champion and ex-world champion.”

Brook continued, “He’s come over here and he’s got a point to prove like he had last time with Ricky Hatton. I now want to get revenge for the fans and also for myself.”

Kell Brook also went onto saying, “I want to go out there and show why I’m talked about at the elite level.”

Over the past 3 years now Kell Brook has been calling out Amir “King” Khan but Khan’s response has simply been, “fight someone in the top 10 and prove yourself.” This fight provides Kell Brook the chance to prove he has the ability to operate at world level and show the fans why his name is mentioned amongst the elite. The winner of the bout will be the next mandatory challenger for the IBF Welterweight title and will face the winner of Devon Alexander and Shawn Porter in February.

Early this week Ricky Hatton spoke about the upcoming bout, “He’s [Senchenko] a lot tougher than he looks,” Hatton said. “He’s a tall boxer-type but he’s not a skilful boxer.”

“Kell is a really good boxer and Paulie [Malignaggi] showed that Vyacheslav can be out boxed so if Kell chooses to box him rather than go to war with him like I did, and picks his moments when to put it to him, I think he will do the business.”
