Roy Jones Jr. vs. Otis Grant was a professional boxing match contested on November 14, 1998, for the WBA and WBC light heavyweight titles.

Jones, who had not been scheduled to fight until December, agreed to fight one month ahead of time at the request of HBO, who were left without a main event for their November telecast of HBO World Championship Boxing when a rematch between Arturo Gatti and Ivan Robinson fell through.

In order to make up for the 15-pound weight disparity between their respective divisions, Jones and Grant initially agreed to fight at the 168-pound super middleweight limit.

Speaking after the bout Mosley said "In the fifth round I noticed that my left hand was hurting, so I quit throwing the jab so much and started working the body.

Jones scored two knockdowns during the fight, first send Grant flat on his back, with his heels going up over his head, with a right uppercut.

Following the sixth round, Jones fought extremely tentatively, seemingly taking it easy on Grant, causing Mercante to call a brief stoppage during the seventh round to admonish Jones and Grant for their lack of activity amid heavy boos from the crowd.
