Was just wondering if there are any good examples of brothers (or even cousins) fighting one another in the pro ranks at all?

I believe Clinton Mckenzie and Loyld Christie were cousins and boxed each other for the British title.

Katsuaki Eguchi vs Kusuo Eguchi, brothers that fought for the Japanese minimum weight title. Kusuo won in the 6th round.
