    He was a serious problem for boxing. The 4 kings doesn't include Don for a reason.

    Why was he a problem for boxing?
    And he did promote Hearns-Benitez .

    The real WBA chumps are Bryan & DuBois.

    Usyk is just the super duper WBA champ.

    The fact him and Arum are still about genuinely fascinates me from a phycological standpoint. I’ve always thought Don King was a physcopath (and I mean literally) and maybe Arum too a lesser extent, but at least Arum still kind of has his faculties still, Don can barely string a sentence together and he’s still out here at 90 odd trying to rip people off for his own pleasure, oxygen thief of a man

    Well the WBA are never ones to let the WBC outdo them. It's a race to the bottom involving those two

    Don King repeatedly suppressed mandatory contenders from getting an opportunity. Not only that his dealings with the WBC made a mockery of the sport. In other words, if Don King was looking after AJ then the Usyk fight would never have happened.

    Not necessary a bad thing,most mandatories are garbage anyway and were worse in the older eras.
    I doubt that,the man Whitaker-Chavez and Trinidad-de la Hoya and Lewis-Holyfield amongst orhers.
    He didnt fuss because he would cash in anyway.
