‘Magic’ Matthew Hatton, 39-4-2 (15 KOs), won the title defeating Italian Gianluca Branco by unanimous decision in March.
33-year-old Nuzhnenko, 30-1-1 (14 KOs), is the former holder of the interim WBA welterweight title and WBA Inter-Continental welterweight title but lost last year when he challenged Vyacheslav Senchenko for the full title. It was the first loss for Nuzhnenko, from Kiev Ukraine; he was defeated on a unanimous decision 116-112, 116-112, and 118-110.
