Boxing Career

He was a contestant on reality TV show The Contender. On the show, he was placed on the East Coast team and fought Joey Gilbert in the final First Round fight. He was meant to fight Anthony Bonsante, and an argument ensued over Bonsante's not doing choosing to do so - possibly seeing Lange as a greater threat. Jimmy was voted back to fight in the top "fan favorite" fight at the show's finale where he beat contestant Tarick Salmaci in a majority decision.

He is currently trained by famed James "Buddy" McGirt. He became the WBE Junior Middleweight title holder after defeating local opponent Perry Ballard in a 4th round TKO in his hometown of Fairfax, VA on September 17, 2005.
