      I can see what is going on here.

      The winner of Wardley- Huni will face the winner of this.

      The winner of this mini tournament will be the only WBA titlist when Usyk retires. Likely next year.

      I think Huni will be the winner.

        As a promoter; He was no different than any other promoter when it came to scruples and ethics. Check out Dana White.

        He provided us with some of the best entertainment ever. He gave us our money’s worth with his stacked championship PPV cards.

        Before Turki there was Don King. With the best fighters fighting the best fighters.
        He fixed fights. Straight up.

        There is no repairing the damage he did to the reputation of this sport (and The Ring, the IBF, the WBA, and the WBC while we're at it). He is a cancer and boxing would be in a much healthier state if Don King had never been born.

          Pulev and Hunter deserves to be on a freak show promotion so it's fitting
          Budget for that fight poster was about $30

            That's news to me. Can you cite some of those "fixed" fights?

              Don king is the 93 year old ****roach of boxing. just when you think hes gone hes comes back


              hes fallen off a lot since the early 2000s when he ruled over the heavyweight division but he never fully dissolved his promotion company. i guess he lets someone else run it, no idea

                    Then you saw Bruce lie down at his earliest convenience.
