    Default Have brothers fought against each other?

    I was wondering if brothers have ever entered the ring to face each other. For example, something like the Klitschko's facing each other.

    I heard somewhere that Muhammad Ali fought his brother in a 3 round exhibition.

    Interesting! But I suppose both took it easy. I can't imagine myself getting in the ring and try to kick my brother's ass or vice versa. I just couldn't do it.

    Yes. Marty Jakubowski once knocked out his younger brother Eric Jakubowski. Marty is mostly know for having a lot of wins and getting stopped by Julio Cesar Chavez. Eric, If remember correctly got knocked out by Arturo Gatti

    That I know of profesionally at top level in a world title fight, no.

    But Nacho Beristein has said many times he'd have to step into the ring during sparring sessions between JMM & Rafa because they would turn bloody. They would really put a hurt on eachother during sparrings.
    He said a couple of times it got heated but it wasn't in a hateful way it was because both of them are very competative.

    The only time I could think of that happening would be between the Canizalez bros. who like the Klitschkos both were top level fighters in their division and they both held titles simotaneously in the same division.

    The best circus act for me would be an elite woman world champ taking on her mediocre husband in a televised ESPN special.

    Imagine the furore a live bout of domestic violence on telly would create, it would be one of the most infamous fights in history.

    I'm sure Trainer Monkey has been working behind the scenes to make this happen

    Ali did fight exhibitions with his brother Rahman.

    Rocky Marciano also toured, fighting exhibitions with his younger brother Sonny. In fact, Sonny was impersonating a famous amateur of the time (Pete Fuller). Rocky ended up serving a one-month suspension when they got caught.

    Just checked Boxrec and Marty had a hell of a lot of no contests. I also see he beat Reggie Strickland. If you have never heard of him he's won an impressive 66 bouts in his career. But whats more impressive is how many he lost and kept on trying! All in all he had 363 fights, drew 17 and lost a staggering 276. Now that is a lot of beatings, and the most I've ever seen!

    Don't know if he has the record or not though?

    Didn't Henry Cooper have a brother who he fought?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No don't think they fought each other. He was called George but fought under "Jim" Cooper. He is Henrys twin brother.

    The three Turpin brothers regularly trained together and sparred, but never fought seriously.
