Northampton's talented Fail twins go pro

The Far Cotton ABC fighters have enjoyed strong amateur careers, claiming multiple titles along the way.

Ben was a national champion and Haringey Box Cup winner, while Carl has won several national crowns and is also a two-time European silver medallist.

Both boxers have been part of the Great Britain squad but they are now ready to make the move into the pro arena.

Ben said: “I’m very excited, MTK Global are a great team to be a part of.

"I had 78 fights as an amateur and won several titles, and now I want to be the best version of Ben Fail.

“I want to be respected and noticed as a hard working and dedicated athlete.

"It was always a dream of mine and Carl’s to turn professional. We started boxing together and are each other’s biggest fans.

“I’ve stayed focused and dedicated to the sport and I’ve had more time to become a better version of myself.

"I’m happy, and now I’m looking forward to showing my skills.”

And Carl said: “MTK Global is a a brilliant company and I’m looking forward to working with them.

"They have plenty of world class fighters so it’s good to be on the same team, and now I’m looking forward to making my own name in the professional ranks.

“My amateur career was a great experience as I got to travel the world doing what I love, but I’m excited for the next chapter of my career.

"I’ll be the best version of myself and with hard work I can reach my goal of becoming world champion.

“Me and my brother started boxing together so it’s only right we start in the professional ranks at the same time.

"We’ve had each other to keep motivated and focused, and now I can’t wait to get going.”
