             Otis Grant came from a middle class background being the youngest of two brothers, showed an interest in sports at a very young age. At age 15 he was playing basketball for his high-school team as a small foward and led his team to the finals, only to suffer a broken arm while falling of his bike a week before. As the final's approached Otis was on the bench eagerly watching the game. His team was down by 12 by the fourth period, Otis "Magic" Grant told his coach to give him the green light. Otis came on the court and drilled in a 3 pointer back to back. Then was fouled and plaing with intense pain, was only shooting the ball with one arm, sunk two free shots from the line. Magic saved the day as his team won by one single point. .
             After trying out for college basketball the couch said that his skills where not good enough. .
             Otis at 16 turned his attention to boxing and never looked back.
             He had taken the reputation to be the best boxer in Canada, being ranked next to greats like Eric Lucas and Davey Hilton Jr. Otis was impressive fighter with tremendous speed. He trew his combinations at will. But unlike Davey Hilton Jr, he did lack some power, but he made up with that with Being quick as a butterfly without the sting of the Bee. Otis a south paw can be compared to Pernell Whitaker in the sence of they both where boxers not sluggers. Although Pernell Whittaker was far more superior.

But lost his title three months later fighting Roy Jones Jr. Roy out matched,Otis and poor Grant did not stand a chance against Roy who is considered the best fighter pound for pound in the world today. Six months later Grant was driving in his car, and a oncoming driver who was driving the wrong way was heading directly on.
