Leicester's popular super-bantamweight Rendall Munroe has announced his retirement from boxing following last month's defeat to Scott Quigg.

[Chatty]

Thought he still had some decent fights left in him but if he feels his time has past then fair play to him. I thought Maloney messed up big style by putting him in with Nishioka and Booth in with Molitor. He should have put Munroe in with Molitor who he would have beaten and then had Munroe fight Booth in an all Brit championship bout.

Neither fighter recovered properly and both slipped sharply back down to British/Regional level.

I have to say I always enjoyed watching Rendall Munroe's fights. He was just one of those guys that whenever he was on Sky, I'd make sure I tuned in for. It just wasn't quite there against Quigg last time out. Wish him all the best in retirement.

 

[Wickio]

I think this is the best move for him. If he doesn't feel like he has what it takes any more and feels his best days are gone then this is the only reasonable move.

I agree with @chatty in regards to Munroe-Nishioka and Booth-Molitor. Could have shaped his career completely different if the guidance was better. Nevertheless, he achieved plenty in his career and I'm sure he will enjoy retirement.

That's surprising.

He's been posting all week on twitter about sprints, and his dieting.

I think he's just an absolute fitness fanatic.

Good decision IMO, Rendall made good money off the EBU title defences and paid his mortgage off years ago.

Like Wallet said above he must be a bit of fitness fanatic, new career as a fitness trainer?

 

[Teeto]

nice one @Roe

Rendall did very well, he will be proud

Quality, likeable, humble guy. A rarity these days.

 

[SeanPlfc]

Right decision, wasn't there at all against Quigg. Good career to be proud of!

He used to empty our bins when we lived in Leics.. Good lad.. Wish him all the best. I'm glad he's going now rather than going down the path Jason Booth has. I just hope he stays retired now.

Good luck to him, terrific little fighter who I enjoyed watching, nice bloke too.

 

[Bryn]

Farewell Rendall.

 

[Dev Alahan]

Wonder what his plans are?

Intelligent move. Clearly wants to more than just a domestic fighter and realises that that's what it would probably come to if he carried on. Fair play to the lad
