    Munroe (21-1) will challenge for Nishioka’s (36-4-3) WBC super-bantamweight title at Tokyo’s 10,000 capacity Sumo Hall on Sunday October 24.
    Munroe, 30, will take eight weeks off from his binman’s job to prepare for the biggest fight of his career.

    The Leicester southpaw, promoter Frank Maloney, manager Mike Shinfield and trainer Jason Shinfield, will spend 12 days in Tokyo before the fight.

    Maloney explained: “Tokyo is about eight hours ahead so we need to be there well in advance to make sure everything is spot on.

    “People are writing Rendall off, but there are far more hostile places than Japan for a fighter to travel to.

    “ Nishioka’s camp have been complete professionals to deal with and I am sure Rendall will get a fair deal if the fight goes 12 rounds.”

    The fight will take place early afternoon British time and UK television rights will be announced at a later date


    Should be a good night

    Looking foward to this and think he may well be able to pull it off.

    That said, I agree with the guy who wrote into Boxing News last week. Munroe has earned his shot and has to travel to Tokyo. Jason Booth, on the other hand has done **** all to get a shot and, dispite Steve Molitor generating great interest in Canada, gets the fight in Nottingham.

    Begrudge? No, I wouldn't go that far. But when your best recent wins are against Rocky Dean and a shot Michael Hunter, have you earned a chance?

    It's got to be financially motivated.

    Molitor might see this as a routine-ish defence and has been offered a few quid to do so.... whereas Munroe is obviously mandatory and has been made a good offer (by all accounts) and will receive a larger share of the purse than if it was over here.

    I know his shot is at Super-Bantam but not so long ago, he was quite high up in the WBO rankings, #4 I think, at Bantam so he must be doing something right.
