Rendall Munroe: I can still be a world champ

Beating Scott Quigg at Manchester Arena tonight would take me a giant step closer to my dream of winning a world title.

That remains my goal – and to defend the title at the King Power Stadium.

The support I have had from fans has been unreal. I'm just gutted that I couldn't get more tickets for them for the interim WBA super-bantamweight fight with Quigg.

Everywhere I go people tell me that they are still trying to get tickets – I reckon I could have sold thousands.

That helps to keep my dream alive. People talk about the amazing atmosphere for Carl Froch's last couple of fights in Nottingham.

So can you imagine what it would be like for the 'Boxing Binman' at the King Power Stadium?

And there is no reason why I cannot become a world champion, the people I have sparred with, and worked with, over the past couple of months have all said that I'm different class.

First of all, though, it is a question of getting past Quigg. All the hard work has been done and it has been a case of chilling for the last few days ahead of last night's weigh-in at Manchester Town Hall.

I've even had the chance to spend some time on a machine at physio Craig Mortimer's Stoneygate Clinic, which takes all the toxins out of your legs. It really does work.

I will be going into the ring tonight with the same positive vibe I had when I started my training camp eight weeks ago.

When people ask me for advice about boxing I tell them to go about their preparation to the best of their ability, go out and fight to the best of your ability and then you have done everything you can do. The rest takes care of itself.

For me, I always try and go out there and have fun. I don't let the pressure get to me. Right up to getting into the changing room on the night I take everything in my stride because I know that I have done everything that has been asked of me in training by Jason Shinfield, Neil Linford and Hardip Singh.

If anything, I feel even more confident going into this fight than I did back in June when I first faced Quigg.

I have been doing some work at Loughborough University and the results have surprised me.

I'm always in good shape but some of the things the people at Loughborough have told me has given me that bit extra.

The first time I went there was just before I went into training camp.

They said then that the condition I was in was already at competition level! It just shows again how important the support I get from Elite Construction is.

It means that when I go into training camp all the fat burning sessions are done and I can go straight into strength and technique work.

I am always confident but this time I feel that I have an added edge.

Rendall Munroe was talking to Paul Jones.
