Andrew Moloney 9-0 will fight Duke Micah 18-0 for the Commonwealth bantamweight title at York Hall on November 12th.

Micah has won 17 of his 18 fights by stoppage.

It will be Andrew's first pro fight overseas and, at this stage at least, brother Jason, is not on the same card.

The Moloney have only ever fought below themselves never willing to test there ability. This fight will see if they can match it with a better fighter.good luck to Andrew I think you will need a lot of luck.

Andrew has only had 9 pro fights and he is fighting for the Commonwealth title in his 10th. Compared to the rate of progress of some fighters these days that almost amounts to being fast-tracked. I doubt Micah is in for an easy night.

A lot of Micah's opponents have negative win/loss records.

So it will be a step up for him too.

Cant argue with you about Duke Micah record but its a lot harder fighting in Europe than fighting chosen over seas fighters.Lets face it T J Doheny has a record of 15 and 0 is an Aussie with the PABA title why haven't the Moloneys appeoached him for a title shot? Research yes I did my research :yay:

YES you did a little research right after I suggested it [research] :OhYes: So it will be the old fighting abroad trick that will get Team Moloney did you notice that Duke as fought outside his native Ghana only twice beating 2 fighter's with losing record's 7-18 and 14-31 in the good old UK :lol: the other 16 fight's he's had were in his home country Ghana :oo I can just imagine what you would be saying if Andrew beat 2 fighter's in the UK with those sort's of losing record's but anyway back to what I was trying to explain to you he's African Micah he's sort of in the same boat as Andrew [Both Fighter's Not European] fighting abroad :lol: ;-)

Granted Micah has double the pro experience. But this has the look of a well matched fight.

I notice that Micah is down as fighting 7-0 Matt Chanda on this date

Micah-Moloney would've been a very good match-up.

Pity that it seems to have fallen through.
