Frank Maloney Boxing: Munroe May Give Up European Title

Rendall Munroe will meet Frank Maloney this weekend to discuss his ring future.

The Commonwealth and European super-bantamweight title holder will be meet Maloney at the FA Cup tie between Millwall and the team he loves to hate Derby County.

Early in 2010 Leicester City fan Munroe will face Victor Terrazas in a final eliminator for the WBC world title held by Japanese ace Toshiaki Nishioka.

Maloney explained: “There is a lot to talk about when I meet Rendall, but giving up his titles is a possibility because there will be obligations expected.

“The Commonwealth council have been patient and Rendall has been a fantastic EBU champion and faced every mandatory contender.

“Because the Terrazas fight appears imminent he will not be able to defend either title in the first few months of 2010 and it would be unfair to hold up other boxers like Jason Booth.”

Maloney has revealed that he has already received a “derisory offer” for Munroe to face Terrazas in Mexico.

He added: “Because of the holiday period I haven’t spoke to anybody directly from Terrazas’s promotional team, but I will next week and make a tempting offer

“We had one offer to go over there which shows they want to the fight on, but I am just as desperate to get home advantage.

“It could well go to purses bids in mid-January and I would be hopeful of winning, but we cannot leave anything to chance if the Mexicans win it.

“They could suddenly put a date on us, but if they did we would already have a training camp in the US or Mexico sorted and be ready to go.”
