RENDALL MUNROE is dropping down a weight division to bantamweight and set his immediate sights on European champion Jamie McDonnell.

There will be no more 100-mile road trips to the gym for Rendall Munroe 23-2 (9). He’s not moved house, he’s not even lodging with a friend or relative…

Rendall Munroe's next fight has once again been switched and will now take place in South Wales at Newport on the 26th of November, reports BBC Radio Leicester. The Leicester super-bantamweight was set to fight an unnamed opponent in Oldham on the 12th of November. But Munroe (23-2, 9KOs) will now defend his WBA international super bantamweight title against Venezuelan Nehomar Cermemo (20-4-1, 12KOs). He hopes to earn a second world title shot after losing his first attempt against Toshiaki Nishioka in 2010.

Super bantamweight Rendall Munroe's next fight will be against an unnamed opponent in Oldham next month, reports BBC Radio Leicester.

WBC/WBA #10 ranked super bantamweight Rendall Munroe (23-2, 9 KOs) came back to the squared circle to score a hard-fought but rather wide victory over Japanese Ryuta Miyagi (21-6-4, 16 KOs) over ten rounds. Miyagi, 36, applied some pressure to Munroe, 31, early in the fight and continued to press the action all night long. However, he was too straight-forward in his actions, which prevented him from being a real danger to the Englishman, who landed his uppercuts and short left hooks at will.

RENDALL MUNROE will face Japanese star Ryuta Miyagi at Sheffield's Ponds Forge Arena on Saturday 24th September.

RENDALL MUNROE is in line for another world title shot inside the next 12 months.

JOHN MURRAY has his first fight for me tonight, defending his European lightweight title.

Super bantamweight Rendall Munroe (21-2, 9KOs) is set for a change of direction. The Leicester Mercury reports that Munroe has left promoter Frank Maloney and signed a deal with Ricky Hatton's company, Hatton Promotions. Munroe was set to return on April 9 on a Maloney card at Rainton Meadows. That fight is now off. Munroe will now return on April 16 at the MEN in Manchester, on the undercard of Amir Khan-Paul McCloskey, which is co-promoted by Hatton.

Promoter Frank Maloney is planning a clash between close pals Rendall Munroe and Jason Booth this summer.
