Sugar Ray Leonard to retire from boxing for college

AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley reports Sugar Ray Leonard, at 20, plans to quit boxing after the next 18 minutes of the Olympic bout, enroll at the University of Maryland, major in business administration and communications, and pursue life beyond the ring. He cites his mother’s wishes and a desire to focus on education. The Leonard family will watch from the Olympic Forum as Leonard, a veteran of 135 amateur fights, advances to the semifinals and eyes the gold against Poland’s Kazmier Lacerba or Cuba’s Andres Aldama. Leonard stresses a calm, prayerful background and a soft-hearted nature off the ring.
