	Born in Aldgate, England on November 21, 1800, Aaron is said to have loved boxing as a child. His first known organized prize fight occurred some time during 1819, when be bested a more experienced fighter named [[William Connelly]] over sixteen rounds under [[Broughton’s rules]]. He lost his second bout, exhausted after seventy-five minutes of fighting with one [[Manny Lyons]]. On March 19, 1823, he engaged in an impromptu prizefight against [[Tom Collins]]. Though Aaron dominated the action, he injured his left hand and was forced to quit after a half hour of battle. The bout had taken place before a large crowd however and Barney’s performance made him an in-demand fighter for future engagements.~~<br><br>~~

	Winning four more bouts before the close of the year, Barney had established himself as one of the most promising Jewish fighter to come along in England since Dutch Sam, a colorful and popular lightweight who had retired a decade earlier. When Aaron took on undefeated [[Arthur Matthewson]] in 1824, the bout was regarded by the public as being between the two best lightweights in the world, though an official championship for the division did not yet exist. After fifty-seven rounds, Matthewson prevailed by knocking Aaron out with a punch to the throat.

	There is no record of Aaron fighting again until 1827, when he again lost by knockout to [[Dick Curtis]] after fifty-five minutes of boxing. Despite the loss, he remained an active fighter until his retirement in 1834. His son, known as [[Young Barney Aaron]], was born two years later and would win regard in America as lightweight champion in 1857. After leaving the ring, the elder Barney became a fishmonger and assisted friend boxers in their fights. He passed away at age 50 in Whitechapel and was elected to the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] as a “Pioneer” in 2001.
