GRANT, MICHAEL & TEDDY ATLAS SIGNED BOXING GLOVE

Michael Anthony Grant (born August 4, 1972) is an American professional boxer and world heavyweight title challenger. Before his boxing career, he blossomed into a three-sport star at Chicago's Harper High School. He was a right handed pitcher who drew attention from the Kansas City Royals, an imposing two-way player at tight end and defensive end on the football field and a front court force on the basketball court. Grant graduated in 1991 and went on to play American Football at Mount San Antonio College near Los Angeles, and Fullerton College in Orange County, California. At 6'7", he was a towering defensive end looking to leap to a major college program. But poor grades forced him to the sidelines. The pinnacle of Grant's boxing career came in 2000, when he unsuccessfully challenged Lennox Lewis for the IBF, WBC and IBO heavyweight titles. Grant, who came in undefeated, was knocked out in two rounds. Offered here is an original boxing glove which has been signed by Michael Grant and his trainer Teddy Atlas. Signed on July 17, 2001 at the A.F.A. Gym in Las Vegas when Grant was training for his fight with Jameel McCline. Signed while I was part of Grant's management team.
This is an original, left hand, red leather boxing glove with a gold Everlast label at the wrist. Boldly signed in black sharpie across the backhand, "Michael A. Grant EPH 5:20" and "Teddy Atlas." Clean with no noticeable flaws. 12 inches long.
