Munroe says his fans also drove him on to the best win of a career that has brought him English, European and Commonwealth belts.
His supporters created a red-hot atmosphere at the Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre and Munroe said: "They made a big difference.

Munroe also paid tribute to trainer Jason Shinfield, who has trained him from the start of his professional career six years ago.
"I've got a great trainer," said the Leicester boxer," said Munroe. "Jason really puts me through it. I think I'm dying sometimes and he keeps pushing me, telling me I can do more."
