Crawford Grimsley (born October 1, 1967) is a retired professional heavyweight boxer and kickboxer, who fought several significant fighters of his era. He challenged once for the lineal, WBU and vacant IBA heavyweight titles in 1996, and once for the IBO heavyweight title in 1997.

Professional career

He made his professional debut in 1994, stopping Steve Paolilli in the first round.^[1] By 1996, he was ranked #9 in the WBA rankings, and #12 in the WBO rankings. His most notable match was against Jimmy Thunder. In 1.5 seconds, Thunder delivered a right hook to the head and Grimsley hit the mat and the match ended. This match serves as the fastest boxing match in history. Before the fight, Grimsley had a 20–1 record with 18 wins by KO and his sole loss being a twelve-round decision to George Foreman four months prior. After his record breaking fight against Jimmy Thunder his career took a bit of a downturn going 2–2–1 in his next 5 fights before retiring in 2002.^[2]

Personal life

After his boxing career he founded ProWebCast, one of the first webcasting companies, in the 1990s before entering the cannabis industry and becoming CEO of Cannabis Consulting Group Inc.^[3]
