Photo shows heavyweight boxer Jess Willard. This old photo dates to 1915.
Jess Willard (December 29, 1881 – December 15, 1968) was a world heavyweight boxing champion. He won the heavyweight title from Jack Johnson in April 1915 (earning the nickname "The Great White Hope") and lost it to Jack Dempsey in July 1919.
