WBC USNBC Championship on the Line
Jimmy Lange will look to secure his second WBC regional title when he takes on Frank Houghtaling in the Main Event. The Great Falls, VA fighter captured the WBC’s Continental America 154-lb belt in May 2007 with a dramatic rematch win over Fontaine Cabell.
However, shoulder surgery sidelined him for more than a year, forcing Lange to voluntarily relinquish the belt due to inactivity. Albany, NY-based Houghtaling has won three International Boxing Council (IBC) regional titles in his career. Houghtaling has a victory over Kevin Collins who handed Lange his first professional loss in 1998.
Turner, Dundee & Glenn: Best in the Business to Corner Jimmy Lange
A trio of the sport’s elite figures -- Don Turner, Angelo Dundee and Jimmy Glenn – will serve as Jimmy’s Lange’s cornermen for his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States National Boxing Championship (USNBC) 154-lb title fight against Frank Houghtaling. Lange just returned from a four-and-a-half week training camp in Arapahoe, NC under the guidance of highly-regarded trainer Don Turner. A mentor under legendary Charley Goldman who guided undefeated champion Rocky Marciano, Turner has worked with numerous champions over his career including Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes.
Making his fourth appearance ringside at the Patriot Center is the one-and-only Angelo Dundee. The popular trainer guided 15 world champions, including Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, George Foreman, and Carmen Basilio, and remains a deeply-respected and sharp strategist in the corner.
Handling cutman duties will be New York-based Jimmy Glenn whose 50-plus year career has seen him work with the best from Michael Spinks to Floyd Patterson.
