MIAMI, FLA. (August 10, 2025)—The world’s greatest boxing promoter Don King, who has a legal and binding contract with number two heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, has issued a cease and desist order to SELA and TKO Group Holdings, Inc.
King, who won the rights to promote the WBA Heavyweight Championship fight between his fighter, Hunter, and WBA Heavyweight Champion Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev in a purse bid and then was victorious in two consecutive appeals to the WBA by Epic Sports and Entertainment.
It has come to King’s attention that there is a fight being promoted on the Sept. 11th Alvarez-Crawford card naming Hunter and Jarrell Miller.
“They continue to disobey the WBA and it’s clear directive on the Pulev-Hunter championship fight,” said King. “Hunter is under contract to Don King Productions and he’ll be fighting for a world championship.”
