European super-bantamweight champion gets into the Christmas spirit for a very good cause.
After a twelve round war against Simone Maludrottu only two weeks ago, anyone could forgive Leicester’s Rendall Munroe for putting his feet up and enjoying the Christmas break.
Munroe produced a superb performance to retain the title on points and leave himself on the verge of a shot at the world title.
But Britain’s best known binman is already back on his daily rounds and will be putting his running shoes on in aid of some local charities this Sunday.
Rendall and the Derby Telegraph reporter Mark Ecklid will be running three miles, dressed as in support of the ward that looks after counselling mothers who have lost children during pregnancy.
Not only this but ‘2 Tone’ will be dressed in a Santa Claus suit for good measure.
Munroe is famous for his ring walks in which he dons his usual hi-vis work uniform and woolly hat. It is the money he earns from wearing the hat to the ring that is being split between the Derbyshire Hospital and LOROS, a hospice in Leicester that deals with terminally ill patients.
The three miles should be of no problem to Rendall who is renowned for his super-fit lifestyle in which he covers half marathon distances on a daily basis.
Fans are encouraged to show their support for the two who will be setting off from Markeaton Park in Derby at 11am.
