Love to Compete in Dual
Posted: May 28, 2008

Kronk Gym light-heavyweight J’Leon Love will represent the United States in dual competition this weekend.

Love, who returned to boxing in April after four months off due to a neck injury received in a traffic crash returning home from the 2008 Senior Open state championships, is one of eleven U.S. amateurs competing against boxers from the Dominican Republic this Saturday, May 31.

The U.S. v Dominican Republic competition is the fourth such international dual held this year and the first to include a boxer from Michigan. Other duals pitted American boxers against teams from such countries as Mexico and Puerto Rico.

This is Love’s second international competition. In September, he competed, but lost, in the Golden Belt Tournament held in Romania.
