Moloney loses to Nasukawa in unanimous decision

Australia's Jason Moloney will have to wait longer for a chance to reclaim his WBO bantamweight world title, after losing his bout with Japan's Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo by unanimous decision.

In a possibly contentious end to a gripping 10-round fight on Monday night, the 34-year-old Moloney raised his arms in apparent triumph after the bell, only to lose on the judges' cards to former kickboxer Nasukawa.

Two judges scored the bout 97-93 and the third 98-92 in Nasukawa's favour.
