Maloney managed Lennox Lewis, who won the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world, between 1989 and 2001.

[10] While best known as the promoter who took Lewis to the top, Maloney has also guided four other fighters to World Titles and has managed a string of British, European and Commonwealth Champions.

[11] On 14 September 2009 Maloney suffered a heart attack while watching John McDermott lose a contentious decision to Tyson Fury; significant heart damage was discovered when Maloney was admitted to hospital with shock after finding the body of client Darren Sutherland following his suicide.

[19] Maloney was the UKIP candidate for the 2004 London mayoral election,[20] during which she was accused of "Griffin-like racism".

[25] In a 2014 interview with LGBTQ magazine EQView, Maloney addressed her previous statements, stating: "I accept comments I made in the past were wrong.

[28] Maloney later left UKIP,[29] citing party leader Nigel Farage's stance on LGBTQ rights as the trigger for her withdrawing her support.
