Hope he is doing this for the right reasons, last time I saw him he seemed pretty adamant he wasn't coming back.

Munroe quit the ring last December following a six-round defeat to Scott Quigg for the interim WBA super-bantamweight title and blamed the loss - only his third of a 28-fight career - on his battle with the scales and a lack of motivation.

Munroe plans to campaign at either super-featherweight or lightweight in the future, and the 32-year-old said: "I know I can still be a world champion. I've been sparring and it's definitely still there. I won't say I feel better than I used to, but I'm enjoying the training more.

"I'm still eating healthily and now I'm eating more. I had been making 8st 10lbs for a long time and I don't think keeping my weight down for all those years did me any good. I walk around at 10 stones these days - and that's a lot of weight to lose for a fight. I had got fed up with the way I was being treated as well. I had worked hard, proved I was good enough to fight at world level and ended up fighting at domestic level again. I struggled to get up for my last fight."

Since retiring, Munroe has worked at Braunstone Skills Centre and has also been a mentor for pupils at Lancaster School.

But he admits he is getting back in the ring because he cannot get his job back emptying bins.

"If they had me back on the bins, I wouldn't be thinking about boxing again," said Munroe.

"It was the perfect job for me. I was outside, exercising, seeing people and enjoying myself. I was there for eight years and only had one day off sick when they sent me home.

"We worked as a team. I was never disrespectful, did my work well and never had any disciplinary problems.

"I always said I would go back on the bins when I stopped boxing.

"I've been told they won't have me back because I've got an attitude problem, and that's rubbish."
