Andrew Moloney ‘grateful’ and ‘excited’ to face late-sub Pedro Guevara

Long-time junior bantamweight contender Andrew Moloney was preparing for one seasoned Mexican veteran but will instead face another on the undercard of George Kambosos-Vasiliy Lomachenko at the RAC Arena, Perth, Australia, on Saturday (Sunday in Australia).

Moloney, rated at No. 4 by The Ring at junior bantamweight, had been tabbed to face Carlos Cuadras, but when the Mexican injured his Achilles tendon, in jumped Pedro Guevara.

“I’m extremely excited for this fight,” Moloney (26-3, 16 knockouts) told The Ring.
