Rendall Munroe announces his decision to retire from boxing following his defeat to Scott Quigg last month.

British boxer Rendall Munroe has announced that he will no longer compete in the ring following his defeat to Scott Quigg last month.

The 32-year-old has decided to hang up his gloves after failing to clinch the WBA interim super-bantamweight title but has insisted that he is "proud" of his career.

"I'm always positive and forward-thinking and I've had a great career," Munroe told BBC East Midlands. "I am 100% proud of what I have done. I was English, Commonwealth, European and WBA international champion and a world title contender."

Munroe's defeat to Quigg was the third loss of his career, which boasted a run of 27 unbeaten bouts until last month.
