Kevin Levron is a professional bodybuilder from the USA. The peak of his career as an athlete came in the nineties and the beginning of the two thousandth. Although he has never been able to win the Mr. Olympia tournament, his name is still forever in the history of bodybuilding.
early years
Kevin Levron was born July 16, 1965 in the city of Baltimore (Maryland, USA). His father was Italian, and his mother was African American. In addition to Kevin, five more children grew up in the family.
At the age of ten, Kevin lost his father. And this loss seriously affected his further biography - it encouraged him to his first classes in the gym.
Having received secondary, and then higher education, Kevin created his own company in the field of construction. Then it was hard to believe that his life would be connected with any kind of sport.
A turning point occurred when Kevin was 24. This year, doctors diagnosed cancer with his mother, and this was a terrible test for the young guy. To calm down, Kevin came to the gym and worked there with "iron" to exhaustion. Alas, the mother’s illness was incurable, and she soon died.
The main sports successes of the bodybuilder
After the death of his mother, Levron with his head went into powerlifting and bodybuilding. And already in 1990, he won his first competition as a bodybuilder (it was a state championship). And in 1991, he won the national championship among amateurs and received a professional card IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness).
Further Levron began to win one title after another - he became the winner of such tournaments as “Champions Night”, “Arnold Classic”, “San Francisco Pro”, “Toronto Pro”, etc. In total, Levron managed to get 21 IFBB medals, and no one has yet surpassed this achievement.
But the title “Mr. Olympia” has never been submitted to him. Although four times the jury gave him second place in this tournament - in 1992, 1995, 2000 and 2002.
