Rendall Munroe is set to announce the decision on his boxing future at Leicester City's King Power Stadium today.

The popular southpaw – a huge City fan – lost his most recent fight, the interim WBA super-bantamweight clash with British champion Scott Quigg just over a fortnight ago.

In the immediate aftermath of that loss, he spoke openly about the possibility of hanging up his gloves.

Today his supporters will discover whether that is the case – or whether Munroe still has the hunger to campaign on the world stage.

"I've been thinking about this long and hard since the Quigg fight," said the former European and Commonwealth super-bantamweight champion.

"The decision that I make has to be the right one not only for me, but also for my family."

The 32-year-old added: "The fans have been following me for a long time now and it is only right that they should know my decision, too."

The defeat to rising star Quigg was only the third in Munroe's career – and the first time he had been stopped.

His record of 24 wins – 10 inside the distance – includes English and WBA international title successes alongside those European and Commonwealth triumphs.
