Jarnail Singh Gill and Jabarjang Singh Gill, famously known as the “Twin Stallions,” have carved an extraordinary legacy in the world of Muay Thai boxing. From modest beginnings as young students under the watchful eye of Master Kru Jompop, these brothers have defied the odds with relentless dedication, skill, and spirit. Their journey is not only a testament to personal perseverance but also a groundbreaking moment for the Sikh community — as the first Sikhs to become official champions in both the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Council (WBC).
A Journey Rooted in Passion and Discipline
At just six years old, the twin brothers embarked on their Muay Thai journey. Guided by Raj Singh Randhawa, they honed their skills at Kiatphontip Gym, flourishing under Master Kru Jompop’s expert mentorship. Their early commitment was clear: both Jarnail and Jabarjang showed a natural affinity for the sport that would soon lead them to national and international success.
Their childhood was marked by discipline, rigorous training, and an unshakable bond that pushed them to excel side by side. The rigorous physical demands of Muay Thai require not only strength and agility but immense mental resilience. The brothers embraced this challenge with enthusiasm, understanding that mastery would take years of hard work and sacrifice.
By 2015, they began competing in interclub fights across the UK, quickly building a reputation for their fierce technique and mental toughness. Jarnail’s crowning achievement came on February 11, 2018, when he claimed the Junior British Open Muay Thai Championship. Shortly after, on April 7, Jabarjang secured the prestigious British World Muay Thai Federation (W.M.F.) Muay Thai Champion title. These early victories were not just medals but validation that their efforts and dreams were becoming a reality.
Their progress caught the attention of many within the Muay Thai community. Coaches and peers alike admired their discipline, humility, and eagerness to learn, qualities that are often overshadowed by the intense competition within combat sports. The Twin Stallions stood out not only for their skill but for their character — qualities that would become as important as their technical abilities.
Rising Through the Ranks: British and World Titles
In September 2018, the Twin Stallions set their sights on Team Great Britain, vying for a place in the 2019 World Championships held in Germany. The WFMC British Grand Championships became their proving ground. Both brothers dominated their respective weight categories, emerging as WFMC British Muay Thai Grand Champions. This victory not only cemented their status as elite athletes but also earned them spots on the national team, a rare honor that speaks to their talent and determination.
The brothers’ journey to international recognition was not without challenges. Training for the World Championships demanded grueling hours, strict diets, and the constant balancing act between school, family, and sports. Yet, Jarnail and Jabarjang thrived in this environment, driven by a shared dream and mutual support that only twins can uniquely provide.
The following year, in May 2019, they continued to shine by winning the WKU Junior World Cup Tournament, earning the title of WKU Junior World Cup World Champions. Their hard work culminated in October 2019 when they represented Team Great Britain at the World Championships in Germany. Their performance was nothing short of spectacular — they won every fight, securing the New World Champions title and gold medals for Team Great Britain.
This phase of their careers illustrated more than just technical excellence; it showcased their ability to rise to pressure, adapt to different fighting styles, and maintain composure on the world stage. For young athletes, such achievements are milestones that mark the transition from promising talent to established champions.
Making History: First Sikh IBF and WBC Champions
The Twin Stallions’ achievements soared to historic heights on February 19, 2022, when Jabarjang and Jarnail became the first Sikhs ever to be crowned International Boxing Federation (IBF) champions in the under-16 Bantamweight and Lightweight categories. This milestone reflected not only their personal excellence but also the breaking of barriers for Sikhs in combat sports globally.
Their victories resonated deeply within their community and beyond, inspiring pride and challenging stereotypes about Sikh athletes in traditionally underrepresented sports. Their accomplishment sent a powerful message about diversity and inclusion, emphasizing that passion and talent know no boundaries of religion, ethnicity, or background.
Less than a year and a half later, on May 6, 2023, the brothers reached another unprecedented milestone by officially becoming World Boxing Council (WBC) Muay Thai Champions. Jabarjang clinched the under-16 Welterweight Championship, while Jarnail secured the under-16 Super-Welterweight title. Their victories showcased their consistent dominance and versatility in the ring, affirming their status as trailblazers in Muay Thai boxing.
Beyond the titles, these achievements reflect the brothers’ dedication to pushing themselves further and breaking new ground for future generations. Their success also highlights the growing recognition of Muay Thai as a global sport and the increasing diversity among its champions.
Legacy Beyond the Ring
Jarnail and Jabarjang’s story is about more than medals and titles. It’s about passion, resilience, and representation. They have become role models for young athletes worldwide, especially within the Sikh community, proving that dedication and discipline can overcome any challenge.
Their journey, fueled by family support, expert coaching, and their own unyielding determination, inspires countless aspiring fighters and sports enthusiasts. The Twin Stallions remind us that true champions are forged not just by victories but by the courage to dream big and break new ground.
The brothers are also active ambassadors of the sport, encouraging young people to engage in Muay Thai for its physical and mental benefits. They emphasize the values of respect, humility, and perseverance — qualities that define a true martial artist. Their involvement in community programs and youth initiatives adds another layer to their legacy, ensuring that their influence extends beyond personal glory.
Looking Ahead
