Both twins, who come from Crymych, took up boxing at Cardigan ABC and are Welsh-speaking. They were featured in an S4C television documentary prior to the Commonwealth Games 2022, at which they both represented Wales.[6] At the Games Ioan won a gold medal and Garan bronze.[7]
Ioan fights at welterweight division, his brother Garan at light-middleweight.[8] Their mother insists that they do not fight against one another in a competitive bout.[8]
