Grimes had copped the Bronze medal at the 2019 CAC Championships in the under 170 Class and he is very optimistic about going at least one better this weekend, he explained that, “I am way ahead of what I looked like in 2019.”
He made special mention of all his sponsors and supporters.

Grimes co-signed on the belief of the immense potential of the GBBFF 8-member team.
