Munroe has not fought since October

Rendall Munroe's opponent in his April fight in the north east is set to be confirmed as Middlesborough's Chris Riley, reports BBC Radio Leicester.

The Leicester boxer was confirmed as fighting at Houghton-le-Spring's Rainton Meadows Arena on 9 April.

And his manager Mike Shinfield says he expects Riley to fight his man in the non-title super-bantanweight contest.

Munroe's fight will be his first since he lost to Toshiaki Nishioka in their WBC title contest in Japan in October.
