	After beating charges of second-degree murder for his part in the Bull Young debacle, Willard showed evidence of how traumatic the whole experience had been for him. In his very next match, against over-matched South African [[George Rodel]], whom he outweighed by fifty pounds, Willard fought cautiously and let the bout go the ten round distance, never once throwing his fearsome right hand. Similar performances followed. His star began to fall in the eyes of the public.

	=== Early Years ===		=== Early Years ===
	Willard was born the youngest of four sons by Myron and Margaret Willard in St. Claire, Kansas. Myron, a wounded veteran of the Civil War, passed away two months before Jess was born. He was raised on the ranch operated by his step-father, Elisha Stalker, and dreamed of one day becoming a cowboy. In young adulthood he first found work in Pottawatomie County breaking, training, selling, and trading horses. After marrying his childhood sweetheart, he moved to Elk City, Oklahoma and started his own business as a mule salesman and wagon driver. When these ventures failed, the broke Willard figured he would capitalize on his unusual size and see if he could make fast money as a prizefighter. For fun he had already boxed a few exhibition with Oklahoma locals, but did not fight his first match for pay until February 11, 1915, at age 29, when he took on the more experienced Louis "Thunder" Fink and took a good lashing. Though he put Fink on the floor in the third round, he was soundly beaten and was eventually disqualified for throwing his opponent in the tenth.<br><br>		Willard was born the youngest of four sons by Myron and Margaret Willard in St. Claire, Kansas.

	Looking to capitalize on Willard before there was no more money to be made from him, Jones and others began arranging a match for him against world champion Johnson, who was now exiled from the U.S. because of morals charges brought against him. On April 5, 1915, in Havana, Cuba, under the hot Caribbean sun, Willard took Johnson, who had not lost a prize fight in nearly a decade. Organizers scheduled the bout for forty-five rounds, the last prize fight ever scheduled at such a length. The champion did not take Willard seriously and failed to train properly, but was still possessed of wily cunning in the ring and knockout power in both fists. He attacked the challenger ~~visciously~~ in the opening rounds, but Jack showed both poise and toughness in surviving. As the rounds passed however, the older Johnson's energy clearly waned under the weight of Willard's blows and the Havana heat. Caught by a big Willard right in the twenty-sixth round, Johnson sagged to the floor and was counted out on his back. Though Johnson later claimed to have thrown the fight in a deal with the promoters, most historians disbelieve this. Either way, Jess Willard was the new and unexpected heavyweight champion of the world. (Willard then immediately vowed he wouldn't fight a black man again, in order to maintain "peace between the races."

	Having proven himself the most successful of the "white hopes," Willard became an instant sensation throughout the United States. A celebrity of the first rank, he was booked by Hollywood movie producers to star in film serials as an adventurous cowboy. He appeared in vaudeville performances as the Victoria Theatre in New York, and toured with multiple wild west shows, most famously Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Jess disliked public life, but not as much as he disliked boxing. The publicity brought him money without having to fight and so he reluctantly embraced his popularity until, largely because of his inactivity in the ring, it quickly faded.<br><br>		Having proven himself the most successful of the "white hopes," Willard became an instant sensation throughout the United States.

	The new champion made only one defense of the title during his four years as champion, against Pittsburgh's Frank Moran. Like Willard himself, Moran was an unpolished fighter with a hard right hand punch. He had given Jack Johnson a particularly tough challenge back in 1914 and got his second chance at the title at Madison Square Garden in New York on March 25, 1916. Because official boxing decisions were outlawed in New York early in the twentieth century, the fight ended up officially a no-decision after it went the ten round distance. The newspapers reported that Willard had given the better account of himself, though, and deserved the win.<br><br>		The new champion made only one defense of the title during his four years as champion, against Pittsburgh's Frank Moran.

	*It was said in a August 5, 1932 "Strange As It Seems"" newspaper column by John Hix that Willard's professional debut was in a small church, in a boom railroad town near Pocatello, Idaho, USA.
