On Friday, August 14th, BiYu Promotions debuts its premier boxing series, "Fights Under the Lights," at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas. The ten-round main event features a clash between light heavyweights Chavon Davis Stillwell (10-0, 8 KOs) of Mansfield, Ohio, now fighting out of Houston, Texas, and Izaiah Dent (10-0, 9 KOs) of Indianapolis. The eight-round co-feature showcases Texas super middleweights Jahyden Franklin Britton (9-0, 6 KOs) of Hempstead and Bruno Pola Ruiz (11-4-2, 9 KOs) of San Antonio.
While the featured bouts headline the evening, much of the spotlight will shine on two of boxing's most recognizable young personalities—the Grandy Twins. Steven Grandy (4-0, 4 KOs) returns in a scheduled four-round junior lightweight bout against Houston's Gerardo Chavez Reyes (3-5, 2 KOs), while his identical twin brother, Daniel Grandy (4-0, 3 KOs), faces Eduardo Tarango (1-5) of El Paso in a four-round lightweight contest. Long before they became professional fighters, Steven and Daniel Grandy captured the attention of millions as five-year-old boxing prodigies. Their talent and infectious personalities earned national appearances on The Steve Harvey Show, Good Morning America, ESPN, Fox Sports and numerous other media outlets. Today, the twins have evolved from viral sensations into respected professional fighters. Their journey includes multiple national amateur championships, appearances alongside many of boxing's biggest stars and one of the sport's largest social media followings among young fighters. Collectively, the brothers have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers across social media, where their training videos, family values and inspirational story continue to reach millions around the world.
Raised in Philadelphia and now based in Houston, Steven and Daniel remain grounded despite their growing fame. Trained since the age of two by their father, Daniel Grandy Sr., the twins have built a reputation not only for explosive performances inside the ring, but also for their discipline, humility and commitment to inspiring the next generation.
For BiYu Promotions founder and CEO Bobby Harrison, the inaugural event represents the beginning of a long-term vision. "This event validates my vision because it's the first major step toward building something special for the boxing community, not only here in Texas, but other regions in the United States and neighboring countries," said Harrison. "We've worked tirelessly to create a promotion that gives deserving fighters a platform to showcase their talent while providing fans with exciting, competitive fights. 'Fights Under the Lights' is more than just a name, it's a vision for the future of our company. Having fighters like Chavon Stillwell, Izaiah Dent and Jahyden Britton, along with the incredible story of the Grandy Twins, makes this a card we're extremely proud of. We want fans to leave knowing they've witnessed something special, and we hope this is just the beginning of many memorable nights under the BiYu Promotions banner."
Harrison believes featuring the Grandy Twins is an important part of growing the sport's audience. "Steven and Daniel represent everything that's exciting about the future of boxing," Harrison continued. "People have watched these young men grow up in front of the cameras since they were little kids. Now they're professionals with tremendous talent, tremendous character and a connection with fans that very few fighters possess. They bring a new audience to boxing while earning the respect of longtime fans through their performances in the ring. We're honored to have them as part of our first 'Fights Under the Lights' event."
