Former world champion Moloney signs with Zuffa Boxing

Former bantamweight world champion Jason Moloney has signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing.

Moloney (29-4, 20 KOs) captured the world title in 2023 after beating Filipino fighter Vincent Astrolabio.

The Australian defended the belt in a 12-round epic against Saul Sanchez, before his reign ended in his next fight in 2024 with defeat to Yoshiki Takei in Tokyo.

He is currently the ranked No 3 contender by the WBC and is looking to secure another belt as soon as possible.

"I love what Zuffa is doing, giving the fans great fights every time and matching the best against the best," Moloney said.

"That's what I'm all about, fighting the best and becoming the best," Moloney said.

Moloney joins Zuffa off the back of a unanimous decision victory over contender Andre Donovan in July.
