[edit] Career history
Molitor began boxing at the age of nine, following in the footsteps of his brother, former commonwealth champion and convicted murderer Jeremy Molitor. He won five national titles at 112 pounds. He participated in the Olympic trials but lost a decision. His final amateur record was 93 wins and eleven losses.[1]
Molitor became a professional boxer on May 18, 2000, with an eight-round decision over Julio Luna. In 2002 he scored his most notable win to date when he beat former Olympian Scotty Olson for the Canadian super bantamweight title. Later that year he beat Englishman Nicky Booth for the Commonwealth bantamweight championship. On April 21, 2004, Molitor defeated Hugo Dianzo for the vacated NABA North American title, by a unanimous decision.
On November 10, 2006, he knocked out Michael Hunter in the fifth round for the vacant IBF super bantamweight championship title. On July 14, 2007, Molitor dismantled South Africa's Takalani Ndlovu in his first title defense, by scoring a 9th round TKO at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario.[2] He also defeated Thailand's Fahsan 3K Battery by unanimous decision on October 27 in his second defense, also at Casino Rama. On January 19, 2008 Molitor defended his title against Ricardo Castillo, with a unanimous decision victory.
On April 5, 2008, Molitor again defended his title defeating Fernando Beltran in a twelve round unanimous decision, running his record to 27-0. The fight took place at Casino Rama.
