Kings (as in Shaggy & Kingwaa) in QLD

Warrens in QLD

[Voice]

eg. the Seth's of WA

[ChrisQ]

Murdoch's?

[kingwaa]

the mckinnons
wayne and angie parr

[BMT]

Paul Slowinskis bro has started fighting in SA

[Sonic]

Eli and his Dad and the Badatos

[WD40]

Phon and Pamorn Martdee

[berzerker]

are we talking about present only or including the past?


mt/kb only or any form of fighting?

[Q]

At least on person of the family should be fightly presently, and really only MT/KB but say Briggs, MT & Boxing is OK

[P-DYNAMO]

Isn't there a few Hussein brothers that Box pro?

[KLP]

Mark Lucchiari and his young son both fight. (Strikeforce)

[mpoyzer]

Adam Wills and his brother are both handy boxers

[WD40]

Let's not forget the controversial Elomar brothers. That would make for one interesting read.

[Q]

Just to clarify, I meant at least one member has to fight Muay Thai or Kickboxing

[Ingle]

I don't know if you're interested in New Zealand too but there is of course the Tai family:

Daniel Tai (Former NZ Champion and international fighter)
Raphael Tai (Former NZ Champion and international fighter)
Jordan Tai (K1, Superleague and International fighter)
______ Tai (Sorry this is a younger brother but forgotten his name. Relatively new to the sport)
______ Tai (Sister but forgotten her name also. Relatively new to the sport).

There could even be more that I have missed... Someone from NZ can fill in the gaps above

you mean at least two members, right? Otherwise it wouldn't be a fighting family...

I think he means at least one member has to fight muay thai and any others could do boxing, mma or whatever.

[krc]

Don't know their names but it's 2 brothers, only about 7 and 9, I think and their dad is their trainer, they have fought on Bullet's shows before. Leon Spain (don't know if he has ever fought though)and his young son.

[Steve]

Hey Fight Journo/Quentin?

You mentioned before - "only MT/KB but say Briggs, MT & Boxing is OK"

both Paul and Nathan - twins were KB, MT and boxing brothers.

And Nathan is the only present fighter - currently boxing and being trained by Paul.

Was unsure if you knew that - didn't quite understand your post.

Not meant to offend - but so you have accurate information.

Steve

[Q]

Thats cool Steve I mentioned Briggs as Paul even though he went onto pro boxing was one of our most renown muay thai fighters and everyone knows him but you are right I would prefer if one sibling is currently doing muay thai or kickboxing.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far.

[Hellfighter]

Andrew and David Keogh were both fighting (Andrew still is) many moons ago in Mackay

[Elyepsm]

not sure if its been mentioned or not.....well I'm half blind and probably haven't seen it

Nathan and Paul Briggs

and I was gonna put Nick and Trent Barns but Scottya beat me to it :)

[Hot Sizzle]

Me and my sister Ashleigh are currently fighting. Trained by Ben Ahipene (former n.z. champ). Also my mum Kataraina had the 1st ever womans thaiboxing fight in New Zealand back in 1990.

[Aaron Kerr]

Some NZ fighting family's ...

Shane "Choppa" Chapman + sister both fight

Tai family, Daniel, Jordan, Raphael and sister Christina?

Redden family, Rex, Rawiri, Henare (+ father was pro boxer)

Ahipene Family (as mentioned above) Ben (father) was a fighter (has been a well known NZ trainer for some years now also), mother was a fighter + children Geoff and Ashleigh still fight.

Sefo family, Ray and Ronnie + cousin Tavita (Tai).

There are quite a few fighting families over this side of the ditch.

[GRIZZLEY]

Jason Tramseks sister young Kristy will be having her first fight mid this year. Good luck Kristy from your family and all your friends from Ultimate .

[Hitman]

The Hasans
Jemal Hasan
Fatih Hasan
Burak Hasan

[Q]

Good luck to Kristy and I am looking forward to seeing the Terminator in '09'

[Anita]

Looking forward to reading this story.
How long do I have to wait??
:D

[Anita]

Would like to hear about the Parr family and the Badato's - if they're happy to share.....

[imported_n/a]

Statti family

[Hot Sizzle]

Also the Crouch brothers and sister. Tainui, Dion and Leighanne, all champs and still fighting. And Leighannes husband Andrew is also a champ and still fighting.

[kingwaa]

tainui, leighanne, and andrew

plus my self and shaggy all train out of corporate box gym.

so there is two families out of the same gym.

[Don Millar]

As above, the fighting Tai family would have to be the biggest out there! Dan,Raff,Jordan and the wee brother and sister too! thats 5 in one family.. between the 3 big brothers they would have had more than 200 plus fights under there belts..i remember when Jordan was 13-14 and he fought this man and won then a few years later he is in the ring with Buakow!

[Hot Sizzle]

The youngest fighting brother is Joshua Tai. I believe they have 2 younger sisters as well and im pretty sure they fight. That would make 7 in 1 family, most defintly a fighting family.

Be hard to get boo out of Jordan in an interview though, very much a silent assasin

[razoo]

Josh and Jordan Bromley.
Stu and Steve McKinnon.
Nick and Jim Tetoris.
Lucy Tui and Mark Hunt/Mita Aporo/Nelson Taione/Mark May (any of these boys related to Lucy?:D)
Didnt John Halford have a young bloke into the fights?
I remember Rick Kulu had a pair of brothers fighting under him in the early/mid 90's.

[Hellfighter]

from Thailand, but here is a family that has their 10 pictured (but I think it's 12) children all actively fighting... I believe 10 of them got a chance to fight at the Queen's Birthday event last year

[Rochelle]

Rick Kulu's Boys were Jason and Cory Mansfield
Lucy's son is Mita

Tai Family
Daniel
Raphael
Jordan
Joshua
Christina
Daniella

Suttie brothers Jason and Robin

[Aaron Kerr]

Oops, forgot about Joshua, he fought Blake Tomlinson a year or two back for a WMC Title.

...and Daniella, from memory, I think she had a boxing match not too long ago.

You're right about Jordan, Geoff, he can be very quiet.

Didn't realise Leighanne was A Crouch (Nee), That explains why both Zero Tolerance and Jackles were so close.

You learn something new every day.
