Rick Glaser, spokesperson for Carl King spoke to BoxingScene.com in response to Owen Beck’s public airing of his decision to end his association with both Don King and Carl King.
 
Carl King was unavailable to respond himself because he is in transit to Moscow for the Larry Donald fight this weekend.
 
BoxingScene.com: Rick what is Carl’s response to Beck’s issues?
 
Glaser:; First of all the man lost  three fights in his career. A WBC eliminator with  Monte Barrett, the winner was to fight Rahman which took place, second was the IBF eliminator with Ray Austin which led to a title fight, and last he lost a WBA title fight.  How this man ended up broke six months after the Valuev fight is beyond anyone’s reasonable comprehension. It defies all imagination how this guy could be broke when he secures by far the biggest fight of his career financially and made more money in one fight than his entire career before. If he is broke than Carl feels sorry for this situation but the man spent his own money, nobody did it for him.
 
BoxingScene.com: What about Beck’s issues after the Valuev fight?
 
Glaser: After the Valuev  fight Beck told informed Carl he needed eye surgery  and told us that he had received that surgery. On many occasions Carl King asked for a doctors report and Clearance to Box  from Owen.  The fighter never sent a release and on several occasions Beck stated he was going to retire.
