Jimmy Lange (33-4-2, 23 KOs) will battle Joe Wyatt (23-1, 15 KOs) for the North American Boxing Association’s (NABA) vacant 154-pound U.S. title in the evening’s Main Event.
The November 6th all-star undercard features top regional competitors such as Fairfax, VA welterweight Todd “White Lightning” Wilson (8-0, 2 KOs), the “Bolivian Queen” Jennifer Salinas (11-2, 4 KOs) of Manassas, VA, Martinsburg, WV junior middleweight Perry Ballard (20-2-1, 15 KOs), middleweight Zain “Tiger” Shah (3-0, 2 KOs) of Chantilly, VA and middleweights Brandon Quarles (2-0) of Alexandria, VA taking on Lawrence Jones (3-2-2, 1 KO) of Chantilly, VA.
Also scheduled is the return of William Joppy (39-6-1, 30 KOs) of Washington, DC who will face Baltimore bruiser Cory “Black Ice” Cummings (17-4, 13 KOs). The 10-round bout will serve as the co-main event for this Saturday's event.
Now fighting out of Woodbridge, VA, where he serves as a trainer for LA Boxing, Joppy is one of the most distinguished boxers to hail from the Nation’s Capital. In 1996, he captured the World Boxing Association’s (WBA) middleweight crown with a TKO victory over Shinji Takehara and went on to face a ‘who’s who’ in the middleweight division during his career. Among the opponents he faced were world titleholders Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins, Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Roberto Duran, Howard Eastman, Lucian Bute, Jermain Taylor and Julio Cesar Green.
Joppy lost his last fight, a 10-round decision to Sebastien Demers in Montreal, March 26, 2010.
