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."
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.
