Biography

Leo Nolan (born August 18, 1972 Detroit, Michigan) is a United States heavyweight boxer.

Biography

Nolan was born and raised in Detroit. As a junior he boxed for Kronk Gym for three years. He turned professional in 1992, winning his first five pro fights before his career was interrupted in 1996 after he was convicted of being an accomplice in a robbery of an off-duty police officer and sentenced to five years in prison. He was also shot five times in the incident. He was released in 2000, and after being out of boxing for almost eight years, returned to the ring in 2001. By 2007, Nolan had won all of his 26 professional fights. Past opponents include Lou Savarese, Jeremy Bates, and Andy Sample, and he has won the IBU intercontinental Heavyweight title and the IBA Americas Heavyweight Title. He suffered his first defeat to unheralded heavyweight Hector Ferreyro in 2007.

His career was interrupted again in June 2009 when he was shot in the neck during an attempted car-jacking.

He was stopped for the first time in his professional career in December 2009 by Alexander Povetkin, his second defeat from 29 professional fights.
