Mofo2 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 American heavyweight Damian ‘Bolo’ Wills became a millionaire overnight recently – but he didn’t land a surprise shot at Wladimir Klitschko. The 34-year-old struck lucky on a lottery scratch card this week and instantly scooped $1 million, equivalent to around £596,000. It’s certainly a far cry from the surroundings of York Hall and potential earnings of £32,000 for winning Prizefighter, when he suffered a quarter-final defeat to two-time champion Michael Sprott. That tournament, back in November of last year, was only his second fight since August 2011, a defeat to former Lennox Lewis conqueror Oliver McCall. It’s almost certain Wills won’t have to bother stepping into a ring again. Wills holds a record of 31-4-1 with 24 knockouts, though lost to Chris Arreola in his only serious step-up in class. Prizefighter consist of three-round fights with quarter-finals, semi-finals and final all taking place on one night at York Hall in Bethnal Green. Previous winners include Martin Murray, Audley Harrison and Mike Perez, who faces Bryant Jennings in a heavyweight title eliminator next month. ‘Bolo’ has not yet indicated what he will do with his new-found fortune, though he certainly isn’t short of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nice good for him he probably would never see that amount of money from boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
