Lev Jackson Returning in April

Lightweight Lev Jackson is scheduled to return to the ring on April 5 in Jalisco, Mexico on a show promoted by Teofista Boxing. Jackson last fought on July 20, 2023.

A 32 year old from Vancouver, Jackson is an all-action fighter. He defeated the bigger Luis Prieto by majority decision in his last fight to move to 3-1-1 with one KO. Then, he experienced an unexpected 20-month layoff. Jackson was scheduled to fight that December, but the commission pulled the opponent and a replacement couldn't be found in time. Lev was then scheduled to fight last April, but that fight fell through.

Since his last fight, Jackson has had better luck out of the ring. A butcher by trade, he got engaged and his first child in on the way. Lev has reunited with coach Junior Moar for this fight, his first outside of Canada.
