Former two-division titleholder Ricky Hatton, making a comeback 3½ years after he retired, is returning against former welterweight titlist Vyacheslav Senchenko, a far better grade of foe than many expected.

The scheduled 10-round welterweight fight will take place Nov. 24 at the Manchester Arena in Hatton's hometown of Manchester, England.

Hatton's comeback was announced earlier this month but Senchenko, 35, of Ukraine, was unveiled as his opponent at a Friday news conference.

"I can't wait to get in the ring now and I'm sure that Vyacheslav Senchenko will give me a good fight. It's one that I am confident I can win, though," said Hatton, who turns 34 next week.
