The brutal toll of his gutsy world-title defence has been revealed by Jason Moloney as he outlined the likely sacrifice needed to take his place alongside George Kambosos Jr on an Australian boxing super-card.
The bantamweight's first WBO title defence came the hard way, with impressive American Saul Sanchez pushing Moloney to the limit in Canada on January 14 in an early contender for fight of the year.
The 33-year-old Australian won a narrow points decision to move to 27-2, paving the way for Moloney to co-feature on the rumoured Kambosos-Vasiliy Lomachenko May 12 card in Perth that's been years in the making.
