Brothers Taylor and Owen Bevan are gaining recognition in professional sports, with Taylor being an unbeaten pro boxer and Owen a footballer with AFC Bournemouth. Their father, Lester, a former boxer and coach, has been a significant influence on their motivation and work ethic. Both have represented Wales in their respective sports, with Taylor winning a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Their competitive nature drives their success, despite the sacrifices required by their professional commitments, as they continue to support each other from afar.
"I think our motivation comes from our dad - he's encouraged us to follow our dreams and we have both done that," Owen told BBC Sport.
"He taught me the foundations though and emphasised fitness. Previously I've beaten people who have boxed at a higher level than me because of my fitness and my ability to push myself when in there," Taylor said.
