About Us
In 2003, the brothers opened the Grant Brothers Boxing Gym to train and develop their own stable of boxers. A stable of fighters that has included rising stars, accomplished professional boxers, and world champions have been under the wings of the Grant Brothers. Howard and Otis have outstanding expertise and helped train many athletes who have reached the highest peaks of the sport.
Our atheltes include World champions and top contenders such as; Joachim Alcine, Adonis Stevenson, Lucien Bute, Librado Andrade and UFC fighters such as World Champion Georges St. Pierre. Acclaimed UFC legends such as Davia Loiseau, Patrick Cote, Rory McDonald, and many others.
For some time, the Grant Brothers considered the idea of embarking on the adventure of the promotion and organizing their own professional boxing events as getting their boxers on other professional cards locally became increasingly difficult.
The promotion came to be with the help of a friend and successful businessman Mr. Eric Kerub, a local Montrealer who had the business expertise and financial resources to get the project up and running. With his help in November 2013, the team had its first Gala at the Holiday Inn Pointe Claire. It was an immediate success and became the go to platform for up-and-coming fighters from Montreal looking to make in the world of professional boxing. Soon after Rixa Promotions was formed and partnered with the Grant Brothers Howard and Otis to bring on board the professional boxing events and promotions that were missing from the equation.
With their expertise in training and managing boxers out of the Grant Brothers Boxing gym and with the partnership with Rixa Promotions; the Grant Brothers and their associates were now able to offer a full package to any up and coming boxer that has aspirations of making it in the world of professional boxing.
