Australia’s Andrew Moloney Puts It All on the Line in WBC Interim Super Flyweight Title Clash
In a high-stakes showdown, Australia’s Andrew Moloney (26-3, 16 KOs) faces off against Mexico’s Pedro Guevara (41-4-1, 22 KOs) for the WBC interim super flyweight title on the undercard of the vacant IBF lightweight title fight between Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos this Sunday in Perth, Australia.
Moloney, who is at a critical juncture in his career, understands the gravity of the situation. “At this stage of my career, I really can’t afford to make any mistakes,” he told BoxingScene. “I feel like I’ve gone to a new level in this camp. This time, we were able to prepare at home, which has made things easier.” The Australian boxer is confident in his preparations, having brought in top-notch sparring partners from Japan.
His opponent, Guevara, also recognizes the significance of this bout. “I’m going to fight like it’s my last opportunity,” the Mexican boxer declared at the official press conference. “He’s coming in good condition for this fight, and so am I. You’re going to see a great fight.”
Moloney acknowledged Guevara’s confidence, but he’s adamant about seizing the opportunity. “It’s the same situation for both of us, it’s the last roll of the dice. The loser of this fight probably has nowhere to go, it would certainly be a long journey back to another shot at a world title.”
The winner of this fight will become the immediate mandatory challenger for the WBC super flyweight title, currently held by Juan Francisco Estrada, who is set to defend against Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez on June 29 in Phoenix, Arizona. Moloney believes that if Bam Rodriguez emerges victorious, a rematch clause could be in place, paving the way for him to challenge the new champion.
With a lot at stake, Moloney is determined to seize the moment. “Winning this fight puts me into massive fights. It could really push my career to another level. There is a lot riding on this, but at the moment, the focus is just on Guevara and making sure that I perform at my best and get my hand raised. I want that strap around my waist.”
This highly anticipated boxing match between Andrew Moloney and Pedro Guevara promises to be an electrifying event for boxing fans, with the winner positioning themselves for a potential world title shot in the near future.
