Frank Maloney Boxing: Rendall Munroe Bins His Job

Rendall Munroe is taking a break from his job as dustman to prepare for his WBC super-bantamweight title final eliminator next month.

The Leicester binman meets Victor Terrazas at Coventry Skydome on Friday 23rd April for the right to challenge WBC king Toshiaki Nishioka. Southpaw Munroe is taking a break from his day job to prepare for the biggest night of his fighting life, by training full-time for six weeks.

Promoter Frank Maloney said: “Rendall must be the only man in Britain who misses going to his day job. But he knows it makes good sense to devote himself completely to boxing for the next few weeks because a win against Terrazas and he will fight for the world title later this year.

“Working has a binman does help his fitness because it is a heavy manual job, but he will benefit more from a training camp with Mike and Jason Shinfield. Even if when he beats Terrazas, Rendall says he will back at work a few days later and that is admirable. He is very level headed and there is nothing big time about him. At times he doesn’t realise that he is close to becoming a big star.”

Terrazas (25-1-1) is unbeaten in seven years, and suffered the sole loss of his professional career on his paid debut when he was knocked out inside two rounds by Adrian Tellez – a loss he avenged.
