Don King Promotions won the auction for the World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight championship bout between Trevor Bryan and Mahmoud Charr. The auction was held today in Miami and King’s company won the rights after placing a bid of US$1,000,101.80 through its representative Tony Gonzalez.
The promoter informed that the possible venues for the fight are Warren, Ohio, Las Vegas, and South Florida, all with a date of January 29. The bout will continue the WBA continues world title reduction plan.
this needs to be a 99.99 ppv
There’s a shock! He won the same bid last year and it cost him twice as much for a fight that never came off. January 29th is the same day Makabu – Mchunu is scheduled in Warren, Ohio. If he can get both of those fights on the same card, it’ll probably the biggest DKP produced card in…. what, like a decade maybe? I’d still be kind of surprised if they actually end up fighting, but let’s see.

that would be two fights that cant draw flies, instead of just one. expensive night for somebody
I bet there was only 1 bid
Still never heard of these 2 fighters.
Maybe its for a championship in some part of the world that nobody has heard of.
Anybody know who is in charge of Don King Productions these days? I dont think Carl King has been involved anymore. I remember Bobby Goodman and Michael Marley back in the day but don’t know what happened to them.
Don King
Oh God no!
Boxing continues its descent as a laughingstock.
Surely gonna take a bath on that 1 mil.
Haha. King knows Charr can’t get into the USA. Now the WBA can finally strip Charr and King can cash out on Bryan against some big name.
Watching my 70 year old parents bang would be more entertaining than this BS!
– That’s terrible, Rob.
– But funny, I have to admit….
– Take care.
rob
hmm thats your opinion lol
Bryan was I thought suppose to defend against Dubois???
King is still to trying cash on making these kind of meaningless fights.
There was a belt for a fight like this back in the ’80s. It was called the ESPN Title.
I wonder how much of his share of that million will Bryan be getting.
tyson would beat bryan hes had to much food he looks like 400p
