Kell Brook bolstered his world title credentials with an eye-catching fourth-round stoppage win over Ricky Hatton's conqueror Vyacheslav Senchenko in his native Sheffield. The unbeaten welterweight has been in the frame for a title shot for over a year but saw a fight with IBF champion Devon Alexander fall through three times due to injuries to both men.
Brook now hopes to secure a fight with the winner of Alexander's December 7th defense against Shawn Porter after an exciting performance which saw him knock Senchenko down twice - but get hurt himself too - at the Motorpoint Arena.
Brook's only other fight in 2013 was a comfortable win over Carson Jones in July. He found himself needing to win this IBF title eliminator against Senchenko despite having previously been made mandatory challenger for the belt. Ukrainian former world champion Senchenko has been similarly inactive, fighting only once since ending Hatton's career with a ninth-round stoppage last November. [Click Here To Read More]
