Wilson seeks
boxing atonement
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — In his eyes, super-heavyweight Mike Wilson is going for an unprecedented fourth straight national boxing championship.
USA Boxing doesn't even consider the Central Point, Ore., native the defending champion. That honor belongs to Jonte Willis, who was awarded the 2006 title when Wilson tested positive for marijuana last year.
Willis was upset in the preliminary rounds of this year's tournament, but Wilson reached the semifinals Tuesday by beating Golden Gloves champion Nate James of Maulden, Mass., 12-7.
