Jason Moloney: Former Bantamweight world champion signs Zuffa Boxing multi-fight contract | Boxing News


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.
