Brooklyn native Paul “The Magic Man” Malignaggi is a proud Italian-American who plans on continuing a strong boxing tradition established by Willie Pep and carried on by Rocky Marciano, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, Carmen Basilio and Vinny Paz.
Paulie, as he is affectionately known, was born in Brooklyn, December 23rd, 1980, but moved to Siracusa, Sicily, when he was a few months old. He stayed in Sicily until he was six. When his family moved back to America, Malignaggi only spoke Italian, but picked up the English language quickly. When he was 16, Malignaggi was thrown out of high school. He was living with his grandparents at the time, and his grandfather took him to the gym to see if it would keep Paulie out of trouble.
