Leonardus ("Leen") Eustachius Jansen (3 August 1930 – 27 January 2014) was a boxer from the Netherlands, who competed for his native country at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. There he was stopped in the quarterfinals of the men's Middleweight (−75 kg) division by eventual winner Floyd Patterson of the United States.[1]
After the Summer Olympics Jansen became a professional. He boxed a total number of 71 matches, of which he won sixty fights (27 KOs). His last fight was on 2 October 1967 in his home town of Rotterdam, where he was defeated on points by Johnny Halafihi of Tonga.[2]
Since 1980 he lived in Sint-Maartensdijk with his daughter and dog. There he taught boxing through his 80s.[3] On 27 January 2014, Jansen died in the hospital of Bergen op Zoom at the age of 83.[4]
