Stunner’Levrone to Compete in ‘Olympia!
Kevin Levrone, who underwent surgery for a torn triceps in late August, told promoter Wayne DeMilia on Thursday that he will be competing in this year’s Mr. Olympia, to be held this Saturday, October 25, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Levrone, the 5’9″, 245-pounder from Glen Burnie, Maryland, finished second behind five-time Mr. O Ronnie Coleman in last season’s showdown, and bested Coleman in the final two rounds before losing in a controversial decision. Levrone, 39, has four runner-up finishes on his ‘Olympia resume.
