Former Champs Zahir Raheem and Micheal Grant will be on hand this Friday Night at Center Stage for Atlanta’s Fight Night.

Zahir Raheem, a member of the 1996 US Olympic Boxing team, is best known for his unanimous decision victory over Erik Morales in 2005. At the time, Morales was coming off of his victory over superstar Manny Pacquiao and was looking for a “stay busy/easy fight” before the highly anticipated rematch with Pacquiao. Morales made the mistake of picking Raheem who picked him apart and out-boxed the Mexican legend over 12 rounds. With the victory Raheem captured the vacant WBC International lightweight title.

One of the most exciting Heavy-weights of the 90’s, “Big” Micheal Grant beat Corey Sanders by early KO, beat ex-contender Lionel Butler, Cuban Jorge Luis Gonzalez, Ross Puritty and was the first man to stop both Obed Sullivan and Al Cole, and knocked out hard-punching David Izon (which brought him a ranking in the Ring Magazine). He also outpointed Lou Savarese and knocked out Andrew Golota. During that fight Grant was knocked down twice only to come from behind to score a knockout in the tenth round.
