Jason Maloney will be a part of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) Bantamweight tournament, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
Moloney is the mandatory challenger for the 118-pound world title held by Emmanuel Rodriguez, who was introduced as one of the participants during a May news conference in London that unveiled three of the fighters who would compete.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the World Boxing Super Series. For me, this is a dream come true,” Moloney said. “It has been my dream for many years now to become world champion. It is something which myself and my team have been working very hard towards. Now I will have the opportunity to achieve this dream and much more. We now have the opportunity to become a unified world champion, win the glorious Muhammad Ali Trophy and become the undisputed No. 1 bantamweight in the world.”
“I am going to grab this opportunity with both hands, and I truly believe that we have what it takes to go all the way and win this tournament and become Australia’s next world champion,” Moloney said. “We are not in this competition to make up the numbers. We are here to shock the world.”
“Moloney is yet another exciting addition to season II,” said promoter Kalle Sauerland, Comosa AG’s chief boxing officer. “He is one of the biggest prospects in Australian boxing and enters the world stage and Ali Trophy action full of confidence. He is clearly a very determined, power-punching fighter eager to impress.”
