-----------------------------------------------------------------
Newly-crowned WBC Continental Americas Junior Middleweight champion Jimmy Lange will be hosting a benefit boxing event on Thursday, July 26 at the Doubletree Hotel Crystal City in Arlington, VA.
The event will raise funds for the family of the late Diego "Chico" Corrales, whom Lange sparred with a few years ago while both trained in Vero Beach, FL. The benefit is a joint promotion between Jimmy Lange Enterprises and Jackie Kallen's Ice Promotions (who promoted the rematch between Lange and Fontaine Cabell on May 12, where Lange won the title with an eighth-round technical knockout). Lange and Kallen worked on the first season of "The Contender" and Kallen now serves as an advisor to Lange.
"Diego Corrales was a blood and guts warrior who I had a great deal of respect for," Lange, a native of Great Falls, VA, said in a statement. "He was one of the few current boxers who, win or lose, always left everything out there at the end of the day. I look forward to honoring him as we help raise funds for his family."
There will also be live music by the popular New York-based band Emil Stucchio and The Classics, who recorded such hits as "Till Then," "P.S. I Love You," and "You'll Never Know."
Less than 500 tickets are available for this event that begins at 6 pm with a ****tail hour. The doors will open at 7 pm. There will be up to four bouts on the card that will feature boxers from throughout the Beltway. Tickets for table seats (that include a three-course dinner) are $350, $250 and $175. There are a limited number of $75 tickets (admission only). To purchase tickets, call (703) 536-6060.
