Context: after being defensive for the whole match, a boxer finally decides to
fight with all his power out of respect for his opponent. These are his
thoughts:

> 選手生命を捧げているキミにとってボクシングの存在 感謝でも **愛でも** 到底届かない域に達していることを
>
> それ程のボクシング **愛を持つ** キミとのこの試合… 敬礼したくなる

My non-literal translation attempt:

> Your boxing creed, which implies sacrificing your own life, is at a level
> that can't be reached with gratitude or **love**.
>
> I want to honor this fight with someone like you that **loves** boxing so
> much.

In the first sentence he said that level of boxing can't be reached with love,
so why in the second he says ボクシング愛を持つキミ? Is this a contradiction or did I
misunderstood the two sentences? Does 愛 in the second sentence have a
different nuance? [Here you can see](https://i.stack.imgur.com/YTh4t.jpg) the
whole page and the previous one for more context. Thank you for your help!

Is there a contradiction in these sentences?
They aren't a contradiction.

感謝でも愛でも到底届かない域に達している means "He loves and thanks boxing so much that nobody can
reach the level."

The two sentences say "He loves boxing very much".
