FAIRFAX, VA - Nashvlle middleweight Jonathan Reid (34-12, 19 KOs), a former paricipant on "The Contender," and undefeated welterweight prospect Todd "White Lightning" Wilson (7-0, 1 KO), of Falls Church, VA have been added to the already action-packed July 10 "No Excuses" card lineup from the Patriot Center.
Opponents for both fighters are to be determined.
Popular junior middleweight contender, Jimmy Lange (31-4-2, 22 KOs), of Great Church, VA, looks to get back on the winning track when he goes head-to-head against ring veteran Jimmy LeBlanc (12-16-4, 4 Kos), of Weymouth, MA, in the main event.
The show will take place at the George Mason University campus facility which will be Lange’s 10th straight bout on his home turf.
Tickets start at only $35 and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Patriot Center box office.
Reid and Lange waged a war when they faced off last September at the Patriot Center. Both fighters earned praise and respect for the exciting fight with Lange emerging victorious by way of a ninth-round TKO. Reid has faced world-class talents such as Pawel Wolak, Maxim Vlasov, Paul Smith and former D.C. world champion William Joppy during his career
Lange, a former star on the first season of The Contender reality TV boxing show, has held two World Boxing Championship (WBC) regional belts (Continental Americas and USNBC). After losing a 12-round decision to Chase Shields back in March, he is seeking a victory over LeBlanc, who has consistently faced tough opponents during his 12-year career; including former World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman. In fact, the combined record of LeBlanc’s opponents over the past five years is 91-21-6.
Two years ago, LeBlanc stunned the Patriot Center crowd by knocking out former local contender Luther Smith in the first round. The Boston-based boxer lost his last fight to undefeated Irish prospect Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan via a fourth-round disqualification in March 2009.
The 8-round co-main event features a welterweight showdown between Baltimore’ Tim "The Pitbull" Coleman and (17-1-1, 4 KOs) and tough Detroit southpaw Damian Fuller (30-7-1, 14 KOs). |
