Jason Moloney Reveals He Will Return In May

WBO bantamweight world champion Jason Moloney says he will be returning to the ring in May.

Moloney will be watching two bantamweight title fights on Saturday as Junto Nakatani challenges Alexandro Santiago for the WBC title and Takuma Inoue defends his WBA bantamweight belt against Jerwin Ancajas.

“I’m really looking forward to watching this card,” Moloney said in an exclusive interview to BoxingScene. “Obviously the results of these fights have a big impact on the division and I definitely want to fight the winners. I’ll have my eyes glued to the TV on Saturday night and we are really keen to watch the fights. I think they will be good fights too.”

According to Jason Moloney, he isn’t sure who he will fight next, but he says regardless of the outcomes of the fights this weekend, he will return to the ring on Saturday.

“It’s hard at the moment because I can’t say too much right now about my next fight, but the reason is because it is still a little bit up in the air,” Moloney confirmed. “I’m ready to go, I’m back in the gym and hoping to fight in May. I was pretty confident that I was going to be on the Kambosos-Lomachenko card, but Tony [Tolj] has been working hard. There are actually a few options on the table. I’ll let Tony take care of business at that end while I’m in the gym working hard. 

“I’ll be fighting in May. Where it is, and who I’m up against is to be determined. Might take a couple weeks to announce, but I’ll be fighting in May. I’m really looking forward to getting back in there and having another really big win and setting up a fight against the winners on the card this weekend. I’ll have to let it play out. I’m excited that this weekend is here and these guys are going to fight and we are going to have, I guess, a clear target of who we want to go after when we see who wins these fights,” Moloney added.

Jason Moloney is currently 27-2 as a pro and coming off a decision win over Saul Sanchez by majority decision, after defeating Vincent Astrolabio by decision.
