Andrew Moloney reportedly is OK.
The Australian fighter was taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons after he was upset by Joshua Franco in a 12-round junior bantamweight fight Tuesday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Moloney felt dizzy and vomited after returning to his dressing room, according to ESPN’s Bernardo Osuna, who reported that the fighter was alert when he was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Moloney reportedly suffered perforated eardrums, although that has not been confirmed. He was released from the hospital overnight.
“He is out of the hospital now,” Moloney’s manager, Tony Tolj, told BoxingScene.com. “[Tuesday] just wasn’t his night, but [he] is now released from the hospital.”
Moloney (21-1, 14 KOs) lost a unanimous decision to Franco (17-1-2, 8 KOs) in the main event on Tuesday. Moloney’s twin brother, Jason Moloney (20-1, 17 KOs), fights Leonardo Baez (18-2, 9 KOs) of Mexico in the Top Rank Boxing on ESPN main event Thursday.
