Elliot Anderson for Manchester City.

Manchester City midfielder Elliot Anderson took to Instagram to celebrate his brother's Misfits Boxing win on Saturday.

Wil Anderson was in action against Luke Dyson in his hometown Newcastle on Saturday night.

Anderson and Dyson faced off in the lead up to the main event between Jordan McCann and Big Stacks.

And the 25-year-old, who shot to prominence on season 11 of Love Island in 2024, secured a TKO victory to take his record in the ring to 2-1.

Younger brother and City star Elliot was watching the action unfold at home over the weekend.

And following Wil's win over Dyson, the Cityzens midfielder captioned an Instagram post: "Let's go bro!"

'Hopefully get 2/2'

Former Newcastle midfielder Anderson would have possibly been in attendance for his brother's bout were it not for Sunday's Manchester Derby, with updates and all goals as they go in available on talkSPORT's GameDay Live.

Wil, meanwhile, addressed Sunday's huge meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford following Saturday's victory.

"It was a tough fight against a tough opponent with a lot of experience, fighting back in Newcastle meant a lot to me for many reasons," Anderson exclusively told talkSPORT.

"Hopefully get 2/2 for the weekend with a win for Elliot in the Manchester Derby."
