Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

As for Fury, the towering Englishman may not have agreed with the judge’s decision that evening (What losing fighter does after suffering his first loss?) there was no argument that, even if he had walked out of the ring a winner against Usyk, Fury had would still have fought the toughest battle of his life.
