Rabchenko’s manager Philippe Fondu said: “Rabchenko himself is very proud to have been selected by Ricky Hatton and will make sure he never disappoints him.
“His next step being obviously the European title and very much relies on the advice of Ricky during his stays in Manchester.
“I truly believe that he's got all the tools to become popular in the UK, where he joined the Hatton Promotions team at the beginning of this year.
“I would love to see him boxing the likes of Prince Aaron or Sam Webb, and I'm confident he'd stop both of them.”
