2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne, Bronx junior middleweight prospect Eddie Gomez and other Golden Boy fighters stopped by the Harlem Children’s Festival on Saturday to take photos, sign autographs and introduce some youngsters to the Sweet Science.

Our Sarah Deming was on hand with Atlas Cops & Kids Boxing to spread both the sport and their anti-gun violence message. Her friend, the clearly talented photographer Debi Cornwall, was gracious enough to let us publish her photo essay on the event above.

Sarah will bring you ringside coverage of the card from Best Buy Theater headlined by Danny Jacobs vs. Giovanni Lorenzo at middleweight tomorrow (Monday) night. Full bout sheet here.
