His promoter is...Don King. Here's his story:
So, apparently King is part-time in boxing because he’s also working behind the scenes to bring placidity to the planet. Front and center, the promoter got to work and, in his induction talk, said that he wanted his heavyweight Trevor Bryan to get the Jarrell Miller slot at Madison Square Garden and battle Anthony Joshua. He addressed promoter Eddie Hearn, who is sifting through names: “Eddie Hearn, I love your daddy, I got a great relationship with your father. Let me help you, don’t try to be young, and independent. We need each other. I can help you! I’m promoting this fight right now. It’s also a disaster what he’s doing to his champion. If that champion don’t fight a good guy at Madison Square Garden, that’s gonna diminish him, all the way down the line. It ain’t gonna be like I’m trying to hustle and get some money, give the man, he deserves it, he’s earned the opportunity. Trevor Bryan, 20-0, 14 KOs, champion of the world the WBA interim champion, it’s champion against champion.”
You want to parse that declaration out? Nah? Me neither. I mean, here’s Bryan’s Boxrec, have at it. Me, I decided before I attended the gala that I’d soak up King and the persona and the opportunity to see him do the schtick, excuse me, do his thing live and in person. I heard him say, “Jesus Christ is my life,” and saw the puzzlement in the eyes of the attendees. Such a complex figure and really, his catchphrase does sum him up quite well, nails him in fact: “Only in America.” The Don King story, the narrative from birth till now, for better, and worse, it’s up to you to decide when you put pros and cons on the scale. I’m pro for the ex-con.
