Bombastic boxing promoter, Don King, owns this house. He has promoted or been involved in many of the greatest fights in boxing history. These include The Rumble in the Jungle (Foreman/Ali) and the Thrilla in Manila (Ali/Frazier). King is the preeminent figure in boxing and has played an integral role in both building the careers and at times ending the careers of champions including Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, and Mike Tyson to name just a few. He began his career in boxing after twice being charged for killing men in separate incidents and serving four years in prison after being found guilty on one of the charges.
