Jimmy Lange, a championship boxer who calls Leesburg home, will be making a special appearance for boxing fans Saturday night for a Fight Against Cancer event.

Lange, the WBC Continental Americas super welterweight champion, will give guests a rare, behind-the-scenes look at his last match, which took place May 12 at the Patriot Center. Michael Whalen, who will host the fundraiser at his house, said "it was an action-packed win" that captured the championship belt.

The fight will be replayed with Lange sitting among fans to answer questions before and after each round. "If you are curious about what words of wisdom world-renowned trainer Angelo Dundee had for Jimmy between rounds, this is your chance to learn," said Whalen.

The event is free, but limited to 100 participants. There will be a corresponding silent auction, photos, and autograph session. All proceeds from the night will benefit 2-year old Taylor Love, who is being treated for stage four neuroblastoma cancer.

Lange, a father of twin 4-year-old boys and a 2-year-old girl, has known Taylor's mom, Aimee, for about 10 years and wanted to do something to help the family. "I can't fathom how difficult this is for the family. If there is anything I can do to contribute at all, then I will," said Lange.

Whalen said the auction is open now for those who want to bid remotely. The match replay will begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Among the auction items, tickets to the Redskins-Dallas game, a year-long membership to Sport & Health, signed boxing gloves, a Capitals hockey stick signed by the entire team, and sixth-row Orioles game tickets.
