Leicester boxer Rendall Munroe could be fighting for a world title within the next year, according to his promoter Frank Maloney.
Munroe added the Commonwealth title to his European super-bantamweight belt last Saturday and has been tipped to fight Irish WBA champion Bernard Dunne.
Maloney told BBC Radio Leicester: "We have been given an eliminator for the IBF and we are number three in the WBC.
"We are interested in the Dunne fight but our offers have been neglected."
Munroe, who is a binman by day, has a record of 19 wins in 20 fights, with eight knockouts.
Maloney said he has offered Dunne £200,000 to fight Munroe in either Ireland or England.
Maloney added: "If I was Dunne's manager I would take the fight. If you look at Rendall's performance against Netty it was workmanlike but not outstanding.
"It should make the Dunne camp think Rendall is there for the taking.
"But I think Dunne can be beaten at any time, so if I was him I would take the Rendall fight because he has the least experience on the world stage."
I think its a great fight for both parties. I hope Dunnes people make this happen. It could go either way but I got Dunne winning by TKO after coming of the canvas early on. If it happens should be a good fight.
Any thoughts?
