Willis to defend California heavyweight title

The California State heavyweight title will be up for grabs, as unbeaten prospect Damian "Bolo" Wills puts his belt on the line against former pro football player John Clark. The scheduled eight rounder headlines Thursday night's LB4LB Promotions card at the Music Box at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood, CA.  Wills, 19-0-1 with 15 KOs, is coming off on a unanimous decision win over Sedreck Fields in March. In Clark, he'll be facing a tough veteran who is looking to settle a score. Wills defeated Clark by controversial first-round stoppage last June, the only stoppage defeat of the 12-7-1 Clark's career. In his last bout, Clark upset then 15-1 Rafael Butler in the second round. Five bouts round out the undercard, including separate four rour rounders featuring 6-0 cruiserweight Deon Elam and exciting Armenian junior middleweight Vardan Gasparyan. A six-round junior welterweight bout between 8-1 Jesus Rodriguez and Manuel Garcia is also on tap.   Tickets will be available at the door or can be purchased in advance by calling (323)525-0120 or by logging on to www.lb4lbboxing.com. Doors open at 7pm. The Fonda Theater is located at 6126 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, California. The cross streets are Hollywood and Gower.
