In 2012 Summer Olympics women's boxing was included in the Olympic games. When female boxer Alex Love heard the news that women's boxing was now an Olympic sport she put everything on hold, her job and college, to devote herself entirely to training for the Olympics. At 21 years old she is only 112 pounds and 5'1" tall. Her coaches believe it's her speed and strong defense that will make her an Olympic champion for 2012.

Love received the silver medal at the Golden Gloves, her first championship fight. In 2010, she defeated the Polish World champion Karolina Michalczuk. It was her closest fight ever, 17-16. She has also been the recipient of the outstanding athlete award at the Woman's International Dual.

Alex Love (born June 2, 1989) is an American boxer in the flyweight class.

Love was born on June 2, 1989, in Monroe, Washington, a small town about 35 miles northeast of Seattle. She attended Interlake High School in Bellevue, Washington. While in school she played for the girls' basketball team. When Love was a sophomore in high school she was determined to build up her endurance for basketball and decided to pick up boxing as a cross-training tool. The gym she began training at was Ring Sports United, owned by four time boxing/kickboxing world champion Kim Messer who began mentoring Love, which is when she says she fell in love with the sport. Before Love took on boxing as a full-time endeavor she worked for the City of Bellevue's Parks and Recreation Department coaching youth sports.
