David Malul to Return in February

"King" David Malul is scheduled to return to the ring on February 13, he announced on Instagram today. A 2-0 welterweight, the 22 year old has knocked out both his pro opponents.

The Queens, New York native is trained by Mike Stellate at the Main Street Boxing Gym and showed marked improvement from his debut in September to his second fight last month. In his debut, Malul ended the night in the first round with a scary knockout, but he had been dropped twice early in the round.

Malul was more patient on November 23 against Zachary Davis. Though he loaded up on overhand rights in the second round, he set up the knockout blow in the third with a beautiful combination.

Malul has quickly become a fan favorite thanks to his exciting style of educated aggression and his concussive overhand right. Both of his prizefights have been at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, New York where the boisterous crowd has cheered wildly for the "King."
