Harry Wills' Sparring Partner?

Does anyone here know who Harry Wills chief sparring partners were during the early 1920s? I came across a photo of Wills and this big white guy, he must be 6' 5" at least, in a posed publicity still boxing in a ring in an outdoor arena. Might be before the Fulton fight which was in 1920. The guy looks familiar, but I can't place him.

I can't post photos here, but if you go to the TBCB Forum at the OOTP Developments site, I've posted the photo in the TBCB Mods section under "Unsized Photos".

Looked at the pic, total stab in the dark but it could be Adre Anderson, he's about the right period too.
