He also held the WBA Oceania bantamweight title from 2016 to 2017 and the Commonwealth super-flyweight title in 2017. As an amateur, Moloney won a gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the flyweight division.
Amateur career Moloney represented Australia at two Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014.
Moloney also competed in the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships, the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships, and the 2013 AIBA World Boxing Championships.
In his amateur career, Moloney has won 7 state and 7 national titles.
2014 Commonwealth Games Moloney qualified for the 2014 Commonwealth Games after claiming the Australian national amateur flyweight title.
He progressed through the preliminary bouts with a unanimous 3-0 win over Waisu Taiwo (Nigeria), before facing Northern Ireland's Ruairi Dalton in the quarterfinal stage, where he again progressed with a 3-0 decision.
Moloney then faced the hometown favourite Reece McFadden of Scotland, where Moloney adopted a patient gameplan to upset the Scot 2-1 on the judge's scorecards to progress through to the final.
The gold medal bout, staged at the SEC Armadillo, was contested with Pakistan's Muhammad Waseem. Moloney scored a unanimous 3-0 decision to claim the gold medal.
Professional career Following his success at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Moloney turned professional in October 2014. In 2018, Moloney fought former titlist Luis Concepción, who was ranked #5 by the WBA and #15 WBC at the time, and beat him via tenth-round stoppage.
On 16 May 2019, legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum announced that Top Rank had signed both Andrew and his twin brother Jason as a part of their stable.
On 15 November 2019, Moloney, ranked #1 by the WBA at the time, challenged WBA #5 Elton Dharry for the vacant WBA interim super-flyweight title and came out victorious via eighth-round TKO. After Román González won his fight against Kal Yafai, originally set for the WBA (Regular) super-flyweight title, González was subsequently elevated to WBA (Super) champion, which left the space for Moloney to be elevated to the new WBA (Regular) super-flyweight champion.
On 12 May 2024 in Perth, Australia, Moloney was scheduled to challenge Carlos Cuadras for the interim WBC junior bantamweight title. On 27 March 2024 it was announced that Pedro Guevara replaced Cuadras, who withdrew due to injury. Moloney lost the fight by split decision. Post-fight he announced his retirement.
He soon changed course, unretiring and making his comeback on 15 December 2024, scoring a third round knockout over Jakrawut Manjungoen.
Moloney challenged IBF super-flyweight champion Willibaldo García at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Japan, on 6 June 2026. He won by majority decision with the judges' scorecards reading 115–113, 115–113 and 114–114.
