Munroe Gets WBC Title Final
Eliminator
RENDALL MUNROE will meet Mexican Victor Terrazas in a final
eliminator for the WBC world super-bantamweight title.
Leicester southpaw Munroe expects the battle for the right
to challenge for Toshiaki Nishioka's crown to take place in
next February or March.
The WBC have mandated the fight and the fighter's promoters
HG Boxing and Frank Maloney, who handles Munroe can have
private negotiations until January 14.
If no agreement is reached, the fight will go to immediate
purse bids.
Maloney said: "I am meeting Rendall and his manager Mike
Shinfield at Millwall's FA Cup tie against Derby County on
January 2.
"We will sit down then and discuss the fight and discuss the
options available to us.
"Obviously we would like to avoid purse bids and bring
Terrazas to England, but appreciate how hard that might be.
"Whatever happens, at least Rendall knows he is just one win
away from the fight he wants so much."
Terrazas (25-1-1) was knocked out on his pro debut in March
2003, but has remained unbeaten since then.
The 26-year-old has won 13 fights inside the distance and
holds the Mexican super-bantamweight and WBC FECARBOX
featherweight titles
Munroe (20-1) currently holds the Commonwealth and European
super-bantamweight crowns.
