#4. Don King freed from the lawsuit
Legendary boxing promoter Don King has been relieved of the lawsuit filed by heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois.
Dubois filed a lawsuit earlier this month on August 1 for an outstanding debt from the promoter's event. However, Daniel Dubois and his legal team settled the case outside the court and Don King assured the heavyweight that he would receive full payment for his win over Trevor Bryan in June earlier this year. Dubois' attorney said in a statement (via BOXINGSCENE):
"Plaintiff Daniel Dubois, by and through his undersigned counsel, hereby files this Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice in this matter.”
