Back in the Bubble Team Moloney joins Jay Jay Roca and Mark Warren, from Las Vegas back in the Bubble. We catch up with their extraordinary manager Tony Tolj guiding the fortunes of Jason 'Mayhem' Moloney and Andrew 'The Monster' Moloney, which is ironic to say the least. Team Moloney, aiming to shock the world, will certainly produce one of the greatest upsets in world sport. Arguably the greatest win in Australian boxing history! Easily the biggest fight for any Aussie in 2020, Moloney will challenge the undefeated Japanese megastar Naoya Inoue, a fighter Ring Magazine rates the third best boxer anywhere on planet earth, many have Inoue at the top of the tree, his bling includes the WBA and IBF Super Bantamweight titles and the much coveted Ring Magazine strap. Moloney knows who most think the face of Australian boxing is right now. "And I need to change it," he laughs, whilst speaking with a great friend of Australian boxing, The Daily Telegraphs Nick Walshaw, who knows the pressure of big-time sport and what it takes for Aussies fighting on foreign soil more than most. Moloney told Walshaw, "I think I deserve Australia's No. 1 spot". "I know that people are writing me off, outside of my team, they're saying I'm no chance and that's fine it actually makes me smile. A win in this fight changes my life." The fight comes 52 years after fellow Australian bantamweight Lionel Rose won the WBA world title in a huge upset over Japanese hero Fighting Harada. The IBF belt was placed around the waist of the great Jeff Fenech back in 1985. "And to win back those belts once owned by Jeff Fenech and Lionel Rose, that history is just going to make this even more special." Moloney is well aware of the challenge presented by Inoue. Considered the second coming of Fighting Harada, the Japanese star is already a three-weight world champion and ranked third best of any fighter on the planet. We chat with Andrew Moloney who will be dancing on the Terence Crawford versus Kell Brook undercard on the 14th of November and his chance to become a two time world champion in his rematch with Joshua Franco. Enjoy!
