Andrew Moloney (born 10 January 1991 in Mitcham, Victoria) is an undefeated professional boxer from Australia, currently competing in the super flyweight division.[1][2] He currently holds the OPBF, Commonwealth, and WBA Oceania super flyweight titles. He competed in the men's flyweight division at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he won the gold medal.[1]

Amateur career

2014 Commonwealth Games

Moloney qualified for the 2014 Commonwealth Games after claiming the Australian national amateur flyweight title.

He progressed through the preliminary bouts with a unanimous 3-0 win over Waisu Taiwo (Nigeria), before facing Northern Ireland's Ruairi Dalton in the quarterfinal stage, where he again progressed with a 3-0 decision.

Moloney then faced the hometown favourite Reece McFadden of Scotland, where Moloney adopted a patient gameplan to upset the Scot 2-1 on the judge's scorecards to progress through to the final.

The gold medal bout, staged at the SEC Armadillo, was contested with Pakistan's Muhammad Waseem. Moloney scored a unanimous 3-0 decision to claim the gold medal.
