Kukri Sports ambassador Kieran Molloy continued his impressive rise in the professional ranks with a statement victory on 5th September at Dublin’s 3Arena.
Fighting on the ‘Return of the Mick’ undercard, the Galway-born southpaw secured a third-round TKO over Nourdeen Toure, moving his record to 12-0 with seven knockouts.
Reflecting on the performance, Molloy said “It felt great to get back out in front of the Irish supporters.
“The crowd was electric, Ireland always has incredible atmosphere and I love fighting there.”
A key part of his journey has been the support of Kukri, providing him with fight kits and bespoke training wear, helping him shine in and out of the ring.
“It means everything to me to have Kukri support me on my journey to becoming a world champion,” he explained.
“I got a lot of people saying to me how nice the kit was, it was very special for me to have my county’s colours on in the capital and the design was perfect.”
Molloy’s performance in Dublin showcased his patience, intelligence and world-class talent in the ring.
Describing his approach against his opponent, he said “I knew he’d have to come forward at some stage as I was catching him with the jab at distance.
“When he came I could hit him with hard counter punches that I knew he couldn’t deal with.
“Once I had him hurt I just let my hands go and the ref waved it off.”
Looking ahead, the welterweight is already focused on the next steps in his career.
“Being 12-0 now is a great position to be in, there’s big fights on the horizon and I’m more than ready for them.
“I’ve learned that there are many bumps on the road, but once you’re working hard and always believing in yourself things will fall into place.
“A few doors have opened now since my win on Friday night, so hopefully we can get a good fight in the coming months which I’ll be looking forward to.”
With Kukri’s backing and his own relentless determination, Kieran Molloy continues to move steadily toward his dream of becoming a world champion, thrilling his Irish fans along the way.
