Grady Brewer, (born December 22, 1970 in Lawton, Oklahoma), is a professional boxer. A former IBA Light Middleweight titleholder, he is the 2006 winner of the ESPN reality show, The Contender. Outside the ring, he works at the Goodyear plant in Lawton to support his wife and four children.

In a family of boxers, it was natural that Brewer also pick up the gloves. His amateur career started at age 11, and Brewer went on to win 40 of his 45 fights, as well as the Oklahoma Golden Gloves tournament in his weight class. His pro career has been marked with him as a professional "opponent," taking fights on short notice^[1].

On the Contender season premiere, Brewer was picked for the Blue Team. He won his first fight on the show against rival Vinroy Barrett, and his second fight, against Micheal Stewart by unanimous decision. In his third and possibly hardest fight, Grady defeated Norberto Bravo, after being knocked down in the opening round. On September 26, 2006 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles CA, Grady defeated Steve Forbes for the Contender title and championship by split decision.
