In a candid interview, former heavyweight boxer Mitch Green opened up about his tumultuous relationship with legendary promoter Don King, which led him to file a $10 million lawsuit against King. Green recounted his dealings with King, accusing him of wrongful conduct, including withdrawing Green from a fight just days before it was scheduled, infringing on a signed contract. Green shared that his independence and refusal to be manipulated set him apart from King’s other fighters, including Mike Tyson, whom he described as being more easily controlled. Green's dissatisfaction stemmed from King's management style, where he felt replacements, including King's son, served as front figures. Additionally, Green fondly mentioned his time as a sparring partner for Larry Holmes, offering a glimpse into his rich boxing history. Through this lawsuit and his candid reflections, Green aims to reveal the complexities behind the boxing world's celebrated yet controversial personalities.
