    Man a rare L for Frank in 2022.

    Don King has won the bid with a $3,116,000 bid, beating Franks $2,000,000 bid.

    Essentially it is impossible this fights happens and Don King the WBA and Frank will be having a legal battle for the next six months.

    The fight is required to take place no later than July 28—180 days from the time of Bryan’s granted voluntary title defense versus Jonathan Guidry.

    I am more likely to have my **** inside Megan Fox's ass hole than this fight taking place.

    I’d actually back Dubois in this one if the fight takes place as Bryan isn’t that good.

    I still think we may get Joshua/Bryan instead which is a massive waste of time.

    Not convinced King can finance this

    If both could happen the same evening, then I am thoroughly looking forward to it.

    I agree, can see months of Dubois career being wasted as inactive with King's antics unfortunately.

    This could be a disaster for Dubois' career. I have a feeling he could spend a fair while inactive with this dragging on.

    King's only option for a broadcaster is the Fite TV app PPV. As has been already said, this looks like a long drawn out affair before King eventually let's someone else put it on. If it goes on Fite TV , he's really going to do his money. Hopefully it'll be on BT over here though I'm sure King will want it on UK PPV as well.

    Huge bids by both to be fair. More than Andrade vs Parker.

    So Don King is going put this on Fite TV PPV. There is absolutely no way this goes ahead.

    What was the fight a few years back where he reckoned he was putting it on in the Republic of Congo or something? Then amazingly couldn't finance the fight.

    That was Makabu I believe. And it did actually happen against Cieslak who just fought Okolie. just was Makabu co promoter who actually put the event on and Don King had nothing to do with it.

    it’s incredible he’s allowed to bid these kinds of sums. My only guess is he does try to take this fight abroad for a site fee. I could see him trying to tout it to somewhere like Macau. But the issue is King is old as **** and won’t have the energy these days to pull this off.
