Don King got his way by blocking the fight between Jarrell Miller (26-1-2, 22 KO) and Michael Hunter (24-1-2, 17 KO), which was supposed to take place on September 11 in Las Vegas as part of the Alvarez-Crawford tournament.
The legendary promoter, who turned 94 years old yesterday, threatened legal action against the organizers of the fight a few days ago, claiming he has a contract with Hunter for a fight for the “regular” world champion title under the WBA in heavyweight against Kubrat Pulev (32-3, 14 KO).
Earlier, Jared Anderson withdrew from the fight with Miller. He also declined an offer to fight “Big Baby” and Deontay Wilder.
