Matt Chudley recaps this past weekend's British action.
Rendall Munroe won a unanimous decision over Italian Simone Maludrottu over 12 hard rounds this past Friday night at the Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre in Nottingham.
Using his renowned size and strength, Leciester's boxing binman smothered and outworked the smaller but technically more gifted Italian in a close and exciting fight. With the win, Munroe not only defended his European super-bantamweight title, but earned a WBC world title shot.

Matt Chudley previews tonight's European 122 pound title match-up between champion Rendall Munroe and challenger Simone Maludrottu.
The boxing binman Rendall Munroe returns to action tonight in a mandatory defense of his European Super-Bantamweight title against former world title challenger Simone Maludrottu, in a fight that doubles as an eliminator for the WBC title. Having become a favourite for Frank Maloney's East Midlands fighters, the Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre in Nottingham will one again place host to Sky Sports Friday Fight Night.
Munroe was unspectacular last time out in outpointing Ghanaian Isaac Nettey to add the Commonwealth Title to his European strap in May. The poor performance could be attributed to a lack of hunger due to the step down in competition from European level or the monotony in the challenges presented to him since that upset win over Kiko Martinez to claim the blue belt.
