Super bantamweight contender Rendall Munroe returns to the ring on Saturday, April 9, it was announced on Tuesday morning.

Perhaps the UK�s most famous binman, Munroe (21-2, 9KO) will fight in an eight-round bout against an opponent to be determined at Houghton-le-Spring�s Rainton Meadows Arena.

The bout marks his first since coming up short in his failed title bid last October against super bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka. Munroe traveled to the champion�s native Japan, fighting outside of the United Kingdom for the first time in his career.

The lopsided loss to Nishioka snapped an impressive 11-fight win streak, including a pair of wins over fellow Top 10 contender Kiko Martinez and a ninth-round knockout over Victor Terrazas a year ago to set up the title shot.

In contending for the alphabet strap, Munroe was forced to give up his European title, though the short-term plan appears to be moving towards regaining the regional belt before moving back into title contention.

�The European title is vacant right now, but if Rendall wins in April I hope that he will be made official challenger,� promoter Frank Maloney said in a released statement. �I have no doubt that if Rendall can get another three good wins he will be get another world title fight.�

The fight will serve as a special attraction on a card that will air live on Sky Sports. Headlining the card will be 31-year old bantamweight prospect Stuart Hall, who defends his regional title against John Donnelly.
