Munroe has game plan - Shinfield

The Leicester bin-man will fight Italian champion Fabrizio Trotta

Manager Mike Shinfield says Leicester boxer Rendall Munroe knows how to handle Italian champion Fabrizia Trotta in his title defence on Thursday.

Bin man Munroe will fight Fabrizio Trotta in the third defence of his European super-bantamweight title in Dublin on Thursday night.

Shinfield told BBC Radio Leicester: "[Trotta] is quite a competent boxer, strong and looked good at the weigh-in.

"He tends to fade towards the end... so we've got a game plan to do the job."

Shinfield said his fighter was looking good ahead of the fight.

"Rendall is close to being in 200% perfect shape - he always is."

He said the 28-year-old's dream is to fight for a world title at the Walkers Stadium.

Munroe won the Brian Clough Breakthrough title at the BBC East Midlands Sports Awards in November.
