Brothers Sam and Sean Noakes are on the same bill as professional boxers for the first time.

The Maidstone duo are in action on promoter Frank Warren’s show at Wembley Arena on Saturday night.

Sam (11-0) is looking for a 12th straight stoppage victory when he defends his WBC International Silver lightweight title against Carlos Perez (19-7-2).

Sean (5-0) bids to his extend his perfect record against Lukasz Barabasz (2-8).

The brothers last fought on the same bill as Westree amateurs more than a decade ago.

They’re hoping it will become a regular thing as they continue to make names for themselves in the pro ranks.

The pair couldn’t be closer but there’s also business to take care of, with Sam likely to be back in the dressing room preparing for his fight while Sean is in the ring.

“I’m looking forward to it - it’s been 10 or 11 years since we were last on the same card,” said Sam, 26.

“If we’re in the changing rooms at the same time I won’t go out and watch because you’re there to do a job yourself, as much as I love him dearly, and I’d give him the same advice.

“We’re always there for each other but you are there on the night for yourself. No one else is going to get in the ring and help you, so you’ve got to be professional.

“I think there’ll be a telly in the changing room but it all depends on how early he’s on and when I’m up.

“If I’ve got to be in my boxing shorts and gloved up then I won’t be able to watch, unfortunately, but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. It’s good to be on the same bill, though.

“It’s good for ticket sales and it makes it more affordable for people than having to go to two shows.”

Sean, 28, won his last fight in just 42 seconds and hopes to continue his winning streak before taking a ringside seat to watch his brother’s latest title defence.

“I’m really excited to be doing this with my brother, to be able to share the same card and do the whole thing together,” he said.

“I’d like to do it more often if all goes well.

“It makes sense for everyone involved to put us on the same bill.

“It’ll probably be harder for him this time because he can’t be ringside for my fight.

“We do everything together and I can’t wait to come back to the changing room after we’ve both won and enjoy the moment.”

Sam makes the fourth defence of his WBC belt, although his Commonwealth title isn’t on the line this time.

The former Valley Park pupil knows another impressive win will move him a step closer to a British title fight.

“It’s business as usual,” he said. “I want to keep this stoppage thing going.

“I always wanted 10 in a row - everyone wants that - but it doesn’t always happen, so I’m very happy to be up to 11 and for things to be panning out the way they are.

“I’ve been a pro for four-and-a-bit years now and it’s absolutely flown by.

“I’m very lucky to have the WBC belt - everyone loves the green belt - but I don’t think too much about it.

“I think more about the person in front of me and getting through him and then the belt comes with that.

“It’s all going in the right direction. That’s the main thing.

“The British title is the one I want next.

“You get that and you stare at it in your room.

“That’s the only way I can describe it – you want to put that one down.

“It depends on what other people doing but maybe that will happen in six-to-eight months. I’m not really sure.”

Sean faces a different challenge against a heavier opponent in Barabasz.

But he’s well prepared after a good training camp and knows what he has to do.

“I’ve had to step up in weight a little where I was put on the bill at the last minute,” said Sean.

“It’s still welterweight but just about.

“He’s going to be bigger and tougher so it might take me a bit longer to get him out of there but I’m confident in my ability.

“My strength and my power will eventually wear him down and get him out of there.

“I’ve seen him fight before. He’s game, he can hold a shot, he’s never been stopped or dropped.

“It’s a challenge but they like testing me and so far, so good.”
