At just 17 years old, Steven and Daniel Grandy are already well beyond phenoms; they’re rising stars in the professional ranks.
Turning pro in 2024, Steven competes at lightweight while Daniel suits up at super-featherweight. Both have carved through their early pro careers with ease.
Steven sits at 3–0, Daniel at 2–0, and none of their opponents have survived past the first round, barely past 150 seconds.
Their talent has never been a secret. These twins were internet-famous long before donning pro gear, recorded as toddlers showcasing near-supernatural boxing skills.
Early footage captivated millions online.
From Toddlers to Pro Boxing Stars
Trained from when they could walk by their father, Daniel Sr., the Grandys live and breathe boxing. Their father’s philosophy is clear: “There are absolutely no shortcuts to success in this game. You have to put the work in.”
Their training doesn’t occur in a vacuum. They’ve shared gym space, and even mitts, with some of the sport’s elite: world champions Shakur Stevenson and Terence Crawford, MMA powerhouses like Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones, plus they’ve even crossed paths with media giants such as Steve Harvey.
Long before these boys boxed for prizes, they were celebrities starring on NBC’s Little Big Shots and catching the eye of legends like Shaquille O’Neal and Snoop Dogg.
Fans see what’s coming. On Reddit, one user marveled at a pre-teenage Grandy, “That kid is already better than 95 percent of people I see posting on Reddit, asking for advice.’ Every post, they bring their hands back to their face and don’t drop them.”
Viral child prodigies ‘The Grandy Twins’ Steven and Daniel are progressing nicely in their early pro careers.
