On the comeback trail

Former heavyweight contender and Chicago resident Michael Grant, returns to the ring on August 21 to face Tomasz Adamek. Grant has won his last 8 fights and will look for one more title shot if he beats Adamek.
These images were taken back in 1999 when I was working as a fight photographer for various clients. Grant fought and won 3 times that year to set up a shot at the title. In April of 2000, he fought champion Lennox Lewis but was KO'd in the second round. I worked directly with Michael while shooting for HBO in 2000 and he was great guy. It will be an exciting fight and I wish him well.
