Lesnevich Poised To Beat Mills In White City Bout
Light heavyweight champ Lesnevich from Chesilhurst Park New Jersey is expected to beat Britain's Freddie Mills at White City within the 15 round limit. A victory would make Lesnevich a prime lure to lure Joe Louis back from retirement as promoters push an elimination plan with Andy Niederreiter and Sol Strauss aiming to crown a champion. Lesnevich also says he would fight Louis if asked and would outbox Jersey Joe Walcott if needed.
