\"\"<\/a>After earning a majority draw last November in a crowd-pleasing, back-and-forth contest, former D.C. world champion William Joppy (39-6-2, 30 KOs) and dangerous veteran Cory \u201cBlack Ice\u201d Cummings (17-4-1, 13 KOs) of Baltimore, MD will look to settle Beltway bragging rights when they return to the Patriot Center on March 12 as the 10-round Co-Main Event on the Jimmy Lange Boxing card. The show is an Ice Promotions event presented by Valcourt Building Services.<\/p>\n

Each fighter believed he won three months ago in their 10-round showdown where one judge scored in favor of Joppy, 96-94, while the other two saw it even at 95-95.<\/p>\n

Joppy, a popular trainer at LA Boxing in Northern Virginia, continues to look for his elusive 40th career win after being stopped by World Boxing Association (WBA) \/ International Boxing Association (IBA) Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov in Shymkent, Kazakhstan on January 10, 2011. Originally scheduled to fight Gayrat Ahmedov on the undercard, Joppy took the last-minute upgrade and title shot opportunity when J\u00fcrgen Br\u00e4hmer pulled out days before the fight due to illness. During his illustrious career, Joppy has faced the super middleweight division\u2019s best: Bernard \u201cThe Executioner\u201d Hopkins, Felix \u201cTito\u201d Trinidad, Roberto Duran, Howard Eastman, Lucian Bute, Jermain Taylor and Julio Cesar Green<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cummings looks to prevent the former three-time world titleholder from reaching his milestone victory, while defeating his second straight D.C. fighter in the process. In May 2009, he captured the Maryland State Super Middleweight crown with a ninth-round TKO win over D.C.\u2019s Demetrious Davis. Cummings has more than held his own against top opponents including former world champions Montell Griffin and top D.C. fighter Keith Holmes.<\/p>\n

Hometown fighter and former Contender star Jimmy Lange (34-4-2, 24 KOs) of Great Falls, VA headlines his 12th Patriot Center show with a 10-round bout against Jimmy Holmes (19-1, 10 KOs) of Demotte, IN. The undercard features undefeated Todd \u201cWhite Lightning\u201d Wilson (9-0, 3 KOs) of Fairfax, VA vs. Dean \u201cPitbull\u201d White (15-10-2, 3 KOs) of Smithsburg, MD; knockout artist Tony \u201cMo Better\u201d Jeter (10-2-1, 9 KOs) of Stevensville, MD vs. TBD; a heavyweight collision between Ron \u201cHeavy Duty\u201d Gamble (1-0, 1 KO) of Arnold, MD and Abodurin \u201cBo\u201d Akinyanju (3-1, 3 KOs) of Landover, MD; and Charlottesville, VA middleweight George \u201cWartime\u201d Rivera (11-6, 4 KOs) vs. Shakir Ashanti (16-9, 4 KOs) of Greensboro, NC.<\/p>\n
