By Scott Gilfoid: 33-year-old Rendall Munroe (27-3-1, 11 KO’s) is hoping that if he whips #6 WBC, #14 WBA, Lee Selby (17-1, 6 KO’s) this Saturday night that it’ll mean a second world title shot for him. Munroe and Selby will be facing each other for the vacant EBU featherweight title at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom.

Scott Quigg’s career languishing after victory over Munroe
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s been five months since unbeaten Scott Quigg (25-0-1, 18 KO’s) stopped Rendall Munroe in the 6th round last November to pick up the interim WBA super bantamweight title in Manchester, UK and yet Quigg still doesn’t have a fight scheduled or anything being talked about.
At this rate Quigg will be lucky if he fights more than once in 2013. Talk about wasting your career. Quigg’s promoter is likely going to have to put him in with some fodder opposition if he wants to get him to fight more than once this year because if he matches him up with someone quality it’s going to eat a lot of time for him to prepare and the fight to be promoted.
Quigg’s promoter, Hatton Promotions, is said to be working on lining up a TV deal for his next fight.
Hatton v Senchenko: Fingers Crossed
By Ed Hoyle: For the first time tonight since his brutal TKO loss at the hands of Manny Pacquaio, Ricky Hatton will be once again gracing the boxing ring. Since Hatton’s temporary retirement, other British stars have been gradually edging their way towards potential stardom; most notably, the undefeated Kell Brook and David Price. Scottish star, Ricky Burns has practically sealed his legacy, coming off an impressive TKO of England’s crafty Kevin Mitchell earlier this year.
However, there’s no denying the sport has been missing the Mancunian’s infectious charisma and entertaining style. The void that was left, when Hatton retired with a whimper has finally been refilled and after Friday’s weigh in, there’s curious optimism amongst the boxing public that he’s back for real.

Frampton targeting Quigg and Munroe or world title shot for next fight
By Scott Gilfoid: Commonwealth and IBF Inter-Continental super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton (15-0, 10 KO’s) is looking to take on either Scott Quigg or Rendall Munroe next after defeating former IBF super bantamweight champion Steve Molitor (34-3, 12 KO’s) by a 6th round TKO last Saturday night at Odyssey Arena, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Frampton, 25, sees himself as being close to getting a world title shot against one of the champions.
Frampton said after the fight “I’m open to fighting Scott Quigg or Rendall Munroe, but I’m not far from a world title shot. So whatever happens first, I’ll leave it up to Eddie [Hearn] and Barry [McGuigan].”
