The pair were both entered in the C-Class division at the most recent Victorian Amateur Martial Arts show, a category which allows entrants under the age of 16.
As part of their participation Daniel, 14, and Jack, 16, are required to wear protective head gear, knee pads and shin guards.
Both boys came out on top after fighting against competitors of a similar age and experience.
They will now turn their attention to their respective fights on Saturday at the Battleground Amateur Fight event set to be held in Doncaster.
Their trainer Kiw Eikkasit will compete in his own professional event on August 24 at Collingwood Town Hall.
Eikkasit’s participation will extend a career which has already seen over 400 fights.
