Willard, Former Boxing Champion, Succumbs at 86
Jess Willard, 86, once the world heavyweight champion and famed as The Great White Hope, died Sunday in Pacoima Memorial Lutheran Hospital from a cerebral hemorrhage after a heart attack. His career peaked with a 1915 knockout of Jack Johnson in Havana. He lost the title to Jack Dempsey in 1919 after a brutal first round and later disputed the circumstances of that fight. Willard leaves wife Hattie and two sons Jess Jr. and Alan in the Los Angeles area. Funeral plans were pending.
