The Turpin's have to be the most famous

Recently the Smith's have to have the highest profiles. Nice to see they are wasting no time in hyping Callum up to be a shoe in for world class just like the others were

Since British has not been specified, surely the Spinks family is worth a mention.......

There's something in the back of my mind saying Khaosai and Kaokor weren't related, but actually, I think I'm confusing them with someone else. The tendency for Thai fighters to change their surnames to their sponsors names threw up a situation where people appeared to be brothers but weren't, but it wasn't them, thinking about it.

I thought Michael and Leon were brothers and Corey was Leons' son.

We're on to a 3rd generation Spinks now I think.

The Galaxy's were more than just brothers, they were twins. So were the Porpaoins/Motma's.

Oddly despite the sponsorship stuff in Thailand they do have some genuine brothers such as the Hanwichachai family (Pichit Sitbangprachan and Pichit Chor Siriwat), the Sor Vorapins and of course the Boonjunmongs.

Suriyan Sor Rungvisai and Nawaphon Por Chokchai are also brothers
