Morris Grant (May 11 1845 – May 23 1915) was an African American boxer who claimed the status of being the World Colored Heavyweight Champ and was the second boxer recognized as such. He likely was born into slavery in South Carolina either on James Island or in an area of Charlestown at the site of the now-defunct town of St. James.
