Don King
Don King is an American boxing promoter known for his distinctive shock of white hair and flamboyant personality.
He promoted some of the sport's most famous fights, including the "Rumble in the Jungle" and the "Thrilla in Manila." His name evokes both boxing's golden era and its shadier side—he served prison time for manslaughter and faced repeated accusations of exploiting fighters: He got Don Kinged out of half his earnings.
