The Bowater Brothers are ready to take the boxing world by storm after it was announced that the duo would be appearing together for the first time on EJKO Promotions’ ‘MayDay!’ show next month.

Younger sibling, Des (22), is already four fights into his professional career and boasts a perfect 4-0 record. Sid, a year his senior, will be making his professional debut after rediscovering his passion for pugilism.

“It’s great that Sid has decided to try his hand at the pro game,” super featherweight Des told www.uko-boxing.com. “We work together, we train together and now we’ll be fighting together. I can‘t wait.”

“I’ve seen what Des has done and I want a bit of the action,” added Sid, who will debut at welterweight. “He’s looked really good since turning pro and, watching him from ringside, has spurred me on to give it a go.

“I had a good amateur career but fell out of love with the sport a couple of years ago. I felt I lost fights I should have won and wasn’t getting the decisions so I walked away.  Watching Des fight has made me see what I’ve been missing though. I think I’ll be more suited to the professional game.”

As well as training and working together as builders, the Wolverhampton pair have also enjoyed some lively sparring as the prepare for their appearance at Walsall Town Hall on Friday, 16th May. Brotherly love is put to one side during these sessions but the boxing brothers insist that, with their sibling by their side, they can fulfill their boxing dreams.

“It helps having Sid with me,” added Des. “We pick each other up and get each other through. It’s great to have a guaranteed sparring partner too. He’s heavier than me so it’s good for me to be up against someone with his power and I give him a different test to what a welterweight would.”

“Des pushes me on,” added Sid. “If I’m not in the mood to train, he’ll drive me forward and vice versa. We are both ambitious and want what’s best for each other. We’re more than just brothers; we’re best mates.”
