A sense of calm has swept over Andrew Moloney since arriving in Japan for a world title shot built on years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, of sacrifice.
The Kingscliff-based super flyweight (28-4) will face IBF champion Willibaldo Garcia (23-6-2) in Nagoya on Saturday in the Mexican's first title defence.
The 35-year-old Australian spent almost five weeks at trainer Angelo Hyder's gym away from his wife, children and business before arriving a week ago and won't properly reunite with them, and the party of about 30 who have travelled to Japan, until the fight's won on Saturday.
