Moloney calls IBF win 'worth every sacrifice' after Garcia fight

Andrew Moloney says his IBF title victory over Garcia justified two decades in the sport. The Australian told Ring Magazine he refused to leave the ring without the belt.

“I am the happiest man in the world. That was one tough fight but the sacrifices were worth it. I have given everything in this sport for 20 years, there was no way I could leave this ring without winning this world title. I hope this is the first of many fights of mine in Japan.”
