Don King a No-Show in Denver
Boxing promoter Don King, who attended the 2004 Republican convention and was a huge backer of President Bush, is supporting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) this year. But he will not be in Denver this week.
King’s spokesman said King will soon be leaving for Germany for the Aug. 30 championship fight between Nikolai Valuev and John Ruiz.
King may not be enamored with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who has introduced legislation that would regulate the boxing industry. King’s spokesman did not elaborate on why King supports Obama, but did say that King has repeatedly called himself a “Republicrat.”
