July 7, 2026 – Zuffa Boxing announced today that former bantamweight world champion Jason “Mayhem” Moloney has signed a multi-fight promotional contract with the company. Moloney, from Melbourne, Australia, has campaigned at bantamweight since 2017 and is currently ranked among the division’s top contenders.
Moloney’s Zuffa Boxing debut will be announced in the coming weeks.
“I love what Zuffa is doing, giving the fans great fights every time and matching the best against the best. And that’s what I’m all about, fighting the best and becoming the best,” Moloney said.
Moloney (29-4, 20 KOs) turned pro in 2014, winning his first 17 outings while fighting exclusively in Australia. He captured a world title in May 2023, defeating Filipino puncher Vincent Astrolabio by majority decision. Moloney defended the belt in a Fight of the Year battle against Saul Sanchez before relinquishing it to Japan’s Yoshiki Takei in a spirited 12-rounder. He joins the Zuffa stable having won two consecutive fights, most recently earning a unanimous decision over American contender Andre Donovan in April.
Moloney also belongs to one of boxing’s most accomplished families: his twin brother, Andrew, currently holds a junior bantamweight world title. The Moloneys are one of only five sets of twins in boxing history in which both siblings have won world championships.
