He is known as a Pro Body Builder, World Gym owner , Producer, Actor and as the singer of the band, FullBlown that sold 200,000 copies in two weeks of there first CD . . Kevin was known to take over the stage from his presents and posing ability .It had been rumored around the bodybuilding community that Levrone took up to 7 months off of his normal bodybuilding routine (no weight training, dieting, etc.) between Olympia contests. Many people believe that this is not an impossible claim because of Levrone's genetics for bodybuilding. Fans consider his genetics best suited to bodybuilding. There is no scientific study/evidence to support this. This opinion is based on the observation that he has shown the ability to transform his physique in a small time frame(usually months). .

Kevin has 22 professional IFBB wins and holds the best record in pro body building history to date . He's a 8 time world champion and won the Arnold Classic 2 times ('94 and '96) and came second at the Mr.Olympia 4 times over the span of a decade('92, '95, '00 and '02). His loses in '00 and especially '02 were highly disputed. He has not officially announced his retirement from bodybuilding.

Sprinting

In a bid to gain respectability from other sports, Levrone proclaimed himself to be one of the world's fastest man, based on a hand-timed 40 yard of 4.1 seconds. A challenge to race Olympic champion Maurice Greene was never met, but instead, British sprinter Dwain Chambers raced, and beat Levrone over 60m.
