Tommy, Danch, Jimmy, joe(leo), Arthur, Teddy, Freddie, Rodney LEE

Fought in England in the 1920s - 1940s
All fought on the same bill at one time ( a record I think)

Arthur was my father. Only Rodney still alive.

Palle ...Bernard Docusen and brother Maxie were well known, but I never heard of the third one. Any info on him.

As for Bernard...an excellent boxer who held Robinson fairly even in the early rounds of their title fight but the Sugar man came on strong to score a deserved decision. George Costner tried to get Bernie into the ring, but his manager said to George ,"I look out for my fighters interest, and fighting you aint in it."

Jaclem - I have no detailed information on Regino Docusen. With this increadible developement of BoxRec, I'm sure bouts with Regino will appear eventually.
What I got is a pretty large list in a couple of RRB:s 62/64 of Famous Brothers in Boxing. That's why post that info in an alphabet order.


E-brothers;

How about the Frazier brothers? I think that the great Joe Frazier had about 4 sons and a nephew trained as professional fighters, including the most famous of the clan, his oldest son Marvis.

I think I have asked this before but it's still bugging me.

I saw what I assume was an old 50s photo of at least 4 or 5 brothers, lined up in the ring. All looking very similar, wearing white t-shirts and dark hair. Possibly Latino.

Can anyone think of 5 boxing brothers? I will scour back through my old boxing photo books but I am fairly sure I saw it online
