2024 has been a landmark year for rising boxing star Kieran Molloy, marked by thrilling victories and his continued rise in the boxing world.
The Irish-born boxer and Kukri Sports ambassador capped off the year in style, extending his undefeated professional record to a flawless ten wins from as many fights.
His latest triumph marked his third victory this year, following a commanding performance against Matthew King in June and a hard-fought win over Sergio Garcia in April.
Reflecting on his milestone, Molloy commented:
“My main aim is to win however it comes, but I’ve been performing well, adjusting to each style that I’m faced with.
“It’s all about stepping up the opposition and chasing titles.”
A Year of Growth & Determination
Molloy’s path to this record hasn’t been without challenges. This year, he made the bold decision to switch gyms and environment, a move that proved instrumental in elevating his fight style and approach.
“I have adjusted to the new training environment quite well. I’ve been boxing since I was five years old, so I’ve had a lot of different coaches over the years, but I’m training alongside people who are on exciting journeys as well.”
When asked what has fuelled his success this year, Molloy explained:
“I think a lot of it is attention to detail and being obsessed with what you do.
“There is a structure and a plan behind everything we do, but a lot of it comes down to dedication and training. You have to show up every day, even when you don’t feel like it, always trying to improve yourself.”
Facing Challenges in the Ring
Among his standout moments this year, Molloy points to his April fight against Sergio Garcia as a defining test of his resilience.
“It was the first time in my professional career I’ve been dealt with a bit of adversity. I was on the canvas in the sixth round and answered some questions of myself.
“I learned a lot from that fight, but we’ve been there, we’ve dealt with it, and I know if it does happen again, that I have to come out of it.”
Support from Kukri Sports
The 26-year-old’s exciting journey has been supported in his partnership with Kukri, whose sportswear has played a vital role in his preparation and performance.
“It’s been brilliant having access to Kukri sportswear for training and fights. I’ve never been stuck for something to throw on, but not only that, it allows me to train full time as well.
“Their support has really helped me to fully focus on my career, and on fight nights, the team is always looking slick with the Kukri merchandise – it looks really nice too.”
Dreaming Big Ahead of 2025
Looking ahead, Molloy has ambitious plans for the coming year, setting his sights on international belts and climbing the global rankings.
“I’d like to fight in London, maybe St. Patrick’s weekend in March. We’re in talks with GBM to see if we can get that one over the line, which would be unreal.”
With his sights firmly set on a blockbuster 2025, Molloy is ready to make his mark on the world stage:
“We’re planning on a massive 2025, so it’s going to be by far the biggest year yet. We’re going to keep growing on that ladder and chase those titles—watch this space.”
