'Tattoo' Tom Mitchell returns to the Patriot Center May 2 Fighting in his daughter's memory in a four-round rematch against Yieta Johnson. Mitchell’s November 2008 bout raised $7,000 toward cancer research and he returns to the ring in memory of his daughter Shayla, who died of stage 3 Hodgkin’s disease in January. One-third of all of Mitchell’s personal tickets sales and all of his fight purse go to Growing Hope, a local 501(c) charitable organization. Great Falls junior middleweight Jimmy Lange headlines this show, fighting in a 12-round contest against ‘Dangerous’ Ryan Davis for the WBC USNBC Junior Middleweight title.
