Unfortunately, multiple Jewish boxers had fights cancelled this month. After an exciting four month period for Jewish boxing, it seemed as if the trend would continue in June, but it was not to be. July currently looks like a slow month, but the in-ring action should heat back up in August.

Brooklyn Barwick Calls Out Danielle Cohen, Cohen Responds
After scoring her second career knockout and tackling the Team Combat League in the span of eight days, Brooklyn "The Big Deal" Barwick is looking for bigger challenges. One such challenge could be a fellow Jewish fighter, Danielle "Pitbull" Cohen.
"I'm the only female Jewish professional boxer in the U.S." Barwick told The Jewish Boxing Blog. "Cohen's a Jewish combat sports athlete. She's ain't a boxer; she's an MMA girl."
"I'm the only female Jewish professional boxer in the U.S." Barwick told The Jewish Boxing Blog. "Cohen's a Jewish combat sports athlete. She's ain't a boxer; she's an MMA girl."
The 25 year old junior featherweight had a message for Cohen, a 28 year old lightweight from Florida, "If she wants to come down to featherweight, I'll whoop her ass."
"Tell her management to contact my manager," Cohen responded. "Let's book the fight."
Both fighters are 2-0. Barwick has two KOs while Cohen has one. Cohen has a fight scheduled for June 28. Barwick last fought on May 30.
Cohen is taller, bigger, and has more combat experience, but Barwick has made great strides recently. If it happens, it'll surely be an exciting battle. Barwick is a come-forward fighter who can bang to the body. Cohen is typically a potshot artist from the outside. It all makes for a fascinating clash of styles.
There's also the possibility of history being made. The great champion Hagar Finer faced Jewish opponents in Israel early in her career, but a fight between Barwick and Cohen would potentially be the first professional boxing match between two Jewish women in the United States.

Danielle Cohen Back on June 28
Lightweight Danielle "Pitbull" Cohen is scheduled to fight on June 28 at Xtreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. Cohen is 2-0 as a boxer and has a wealth of combat experience.
Cohen is a 28 year old from Plantation, Florida. In her 2023 debut, she outboxed Danielle Wynn, effectively dictating range and landing eye-catching potshots from the outside. Her second fight, this past April, was one of the more bizarre contests in recent boxing history. Her opponent, Amber Clark, was visibly frazzled at the opening and immediately took a knee before a punch was landed. The fight was stopped after just ten seconds and Cohen awarded a TKO victory.
Cohen will be anxious to show her skills after the brevity of her last outing. This will be her second fight in her home state. No opponent has been announced yet.

Danielle Cohen Wins Bizarre "Fight" on Saturday
Lightweight Danielle "Pitbull" Cohen won her second pro boxing match on Saturday with a first round TKO victory over Amber Clark at Miccosukee Indian Gaming Resort in Miami, Florida, USA. The unfortunate contest lasted just ten seconds when Clark immediately took a knee as Cohen began to unleash her jab.
Veteran referee Luis Pabon, no stranger to controversy, made the right call when he jumped in to shield Clark. Pabon could see that Clark looked shell-shocked and instantly waved off the bout. Clark was in a daze for several minutes afterward. Cohen was award a TKO victory despite not landing a punch.
The debacle was no fault of Cohen's, a 28 year old from Plantation, Florida; she can only take on the opponent in front of her. It's the fault of the commission and Clark's team, who should have known their fighter was not in the right state to fight. But the win obviously doesn't help Pitbull in the long run.
Cohen is now 2-0 with one KO. Her debut took place on April 1, 2023 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA where she beat Danielle Wynn by unanimous decision. Despite being the shorter fighter, the 5' 3" Cohen landed big overhand rights and left hooks over the top from the outside all fight. She used convincing feints and timing to land those big shots.
Cohen took up martial arts ten years ago and has in-the-ring experience as a kickboxer. She fights for the memory of her father David Cohen Z"L, who passed away five years ago.
Hopefully, Cohen will be back in the ring soon and get to show her skills against a viable opponent.
