SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 2 – Don King Productions
has filed a lawsuit against
the World Boxing Association,
seeking to oust Mahmoud Charr
from the position of "champion
in recess" in favor of Trevor
Bryan, represented by King.
The
lawsuit, filed June 2 in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
where Inner City Press as
in-house media found it,
recounts how Charr defeated
Alexander Ustinov in 2017, but
then did not defend the title.
Charr refused to
fight Bryan, and canceled a
bout with Fres Oquendo. It is
a fracaso.
The case is Don
King Productions, Inc. et al.,
v. World Boxing Association,
21-cv-4885 (Unassigned).
In previous SDNY
boxing litigation from March
2021: O'Shaquie Foster
wants to drop promoter Dibella
Entertainment, which has sued
him and is stopping his
probably short career at a key
point.
On May 11, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge John G. Koeltl
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Both sides
said they want this proceeding
to move quickly, given how
time bound a boxer's career
can be. But the best that
could be done was a discovery
schedule running through
October 29.
Will this
contender still have a shot by
then?
The case is
DiBella Entertainment, Inc. v.
Foster, 21-cv-2709 (Koeltl)
