Rudnenko: "I’ll Try to Shock England Like Senchenko Did Against Hatton"

On September 28th in London, UK, local heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher (12-0, 11 KOs) will face Ukrainian Andriy Rudnenko (36-7, 22 KOs).

The 40-year-old Rudnenko commented on the upcoming fight and also recalled the success of his compatriot Vyacheslav Senchenko against Ricky Hatton.

"This is a big opportunity for me. I've fought many top fighters: Jared Anderson, Zhang Zhilei, Agit Kabayel.

Fisher is a powerful puncher, but I'm taking this very seriously. I’ll be preparing in a training camp in Kyiv, and I'll try to shock England like Senchenko did against Ricky Hatton in 2012," said Rudnenko.

On November 24, 2012, in Manchester, UK, Vyacheslav Senchenko faced Ricky Hatton, where the Ukrainian won by knockout in the 9th round. This marked Hatton's first and only defeat on home soil, as well as his final professional bout.
