David Malul and Brooklyn Barwick to Fight in February

Jewish boxing in New York has a long and proud history, dating back well over a hundred years. David Malul and Brooklyn Barwick are the latest two to keep the tradition alive. Malul, 23, and Barwick, 26, both train under the watchful eye of the Sosa Crew, based at the NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club.

Malul, who ran his first event as a promotor in November, recently made the switch to Aureliano Sosa. Barwick has been training with Sosa's brother, Jimmy.

The Sosas trains pros like Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller and Chris Colbert, just to name a couple. They have been in the game for decades, molding champions. Barwick's skills have improved tremendously since she linked up with the Sosa Crew, and she expects Malul's game to rise to the next level with his new team.

Malul is scheduled to fight on February 28 in New York City. Barwick is set to fight for the NBA title in the Dominican Republic the same day.
