Michael King has been a fan of sports since the beginning;
he has owned pieces of teams such as the New York Yankees, the New Jersey Jets
and the New Jersey Devils, but he is truly a fan of boxing. He loved Muhammad
Ali and watched all his fights. King distributed big name shows such as Wheel
of Fortune and The Oprah Winfrey Show. As King watched the decline of boxing he
decided to do something about it, considering he does have the money to
actually make a difference. King founded the All-American Heavyweights, which
attempts to train skilled athletes in the art and sport of boxing. Michael King
has already invested $20 million into this project and has brought over 800
athletes from all over the country. Out of the 800 he is down to five; he is
hoping to find the next Ali in the group.
Michael King has had much success in his life and has been a
part of big names in the show biz as well as in sports, but his goal is to
bring boxing back to the public eye and find an athlete worth watching.
