Earlier in the month, Don King announced that he had a cease and desist order to the fight’s organizers, SELA and TKO Boxing, to prevent the Hunter-Miller fight from taking place. The fight was officially taken off the schedule on Thursday, when Miller posted an email he had received from California-based promoter Steven Bash, whom the heavyweight identified as someone aligned with the promotion. It cited “various unresolved legal and regulatory issues surrounding this proffered bout” for its cancellation. Hunter, 24-1-2 (17 KOs), took to social media to claim that it was Miller, and not King, who was to blame for the fight not happening. In an interview with DAZN’s Chris Mannix, Hunter said, “We’ve been told by several different guys, the attorneys and promoters over there that Big Baby had much bigger problems than Don King,” adding that “we’ve already handled the Don King situation.”
