The father and manager of boxing’s viral sensations, the Grandy Twins, has spoken exclusively to World Boxing News as Steven and Daniel continue their unbeaten march in the paid ranks.
After years of dazzling the internet as teenage prodigies, the 17-year-old brothers are now 3-0 as professionals and beginning to lay the foundations for careers that many believe could lead to world championships.
For Daniel Grandy Sr., the man guiding both, the key is balance: keeping the brothers on similar trajectories while recognizing that boxing is ultimately an individual pursuit.
“We want to keep them moving at a similar pace, but we’re also realistic — boxing is an individual sport,” Grandy Sr. told WBN.
“If one has an opportunity that makes sense sooner, we’ll adjust. The goal is to maximize each of their careers while keeping their journeys aligned as much as possible.”
Different weight classes, same ambition
One of the most notable decisions from Team Grandy has been to keep the twins in separate weight classes. While some wondered if their paths would overlap, their father insists this is a deliberate, long-term move.
“Yes, we see them continuing in different weight classes. They’ve grown into their natural divisions, and it gives them each their own lane while still allowing fans to follow both journeys without overlap,” he explained.
The approach gives both Daniel and Steven the chance to establish unique identities while keeping the intrigue of a twin storyline alive.
Closing out 2025, preparing for 2026
The immediate plan is activity. With momentum building and fan interest growing, Grandy Sr. outlined how the brothers will approach the remainder of this year.
“The rest of the year is about staying active and building momentum. We want to close the year strong with a couple more fights each, keep raising their profiles, and position them for a big 2026 campaign.”
That strategy mirrors the traditional development path of prospects — frequent outings, gradual step-ups, and exposure on notable cards.
Promoter interest heats up
Perhaps the most intriguing revelation is the level of interest the brothers are already attracting from promoters. At just three fights apiece, Daniel and Steven are drawing attention from some of the sport’s most prominent players.
“We’ve definitely had interest from big-name promotional companies,” Grandy Sr. confirmed.
“Right now, we’re exploring all options carefully — we want the right fit that values both Daniel and Steven as a package, but also as individuals.”
That balance — being marketed together while thriving separately — will be a delicate act. But with their father steering the ship, the Grandy Twins appear set to become a fixture in boxing conversations for years to come.

The next great American story?
As boxing searches for its next breakout stars, the Grandy Twins‘ mix of talent, charisma, and a ready-made fan base is impossible to ignore. With careful matchmaking and the proper promotional backing, their journey from viral prodigies to world champions could become one of the defining stories of the new era.
For now, they remain undefeated, ambitious, and hungry — exactly how Daniel Grandy Sr. wants it.
WBN will continue to follow the progress of Steven and Daniel Grandy as they build toward 2026.
