Per BoxRec, Bermane Stiverne will take Charr’s place against Bryan, whose WBA interim heavyweight title is potentially the most bogus one ever offered by the thoroughly grotesque sanctioning body. Stiverne is 42 years old and hasn’t won a fight in five years.
Christopher Lovejoy is out as well; according to Rafael, King “never bothered to contact” him after announcing his presence on the card. This marks the second time in the past 12 months that King has screwed Lovejoy over for no apparent reason, having previously torpedoed a clash with Dave Allen.

We haven’t heard much from the inimitable, indefatigable, indomitable Don King lately, save for a press release sent from his office which had The Don lobbying for votes for his guy Donald Trump on Nov. 3. That push didn’t get Trump over the finish line.
We don’t know what King, now 89, thinks of Trump’s loss. We do know that we did hear from King, sort of, in the form a fight card set to run on Friday, Jan. 29, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
It’s a Don King production, y’all, and truth be told, the details on the promotion are, shall we say, fuzzy.
