RENDALL MUNROE is spending one week warm-weather and altitude training in Portugal preparing for his world title challenge.
Munroe (21-1) will challenge for Toshiaki Nishioka’s (36-4-3) WBC super-bantamweight title at Tokyo’s 10,000 capacity Sumo Hall on Sunday October 24.
The Leicester binman is holed up in the Portuguese mountains with promoter Frank Maloney, manager Mike Shinfield and trainer Jason Shinfield.
Maloney explained: “The air in Tokyo is quite thin and the steep hills where we are will aid him.
“It is a hard training camp he is having in England and the change of routine will be doing him good.
“The training here will take his fitness to another level and he is already in magnificent shape.
“He is such a cool customer and his laid back style reminds me of Lennox Lewis. He takes everything in his stride.”
Team Munroe will depart for Tokyo 12 days before the fight allowing plenty of time to acclimatise.
Maloney added: “Rendall is paying for two of the days out of his own pocket as the promoters are only contracted to cover ten days.
“This one fight he can win and I can see a unification fight against IBF champion Steve Molitor down the line.
For Munroe fans wishing to attend the fight tickets can be purchased from www.frankmaloney.com. Prices for fans wishing to make the trip are £55, £90, £170, £230 and £380 (RINGSIDE).
