KING'S THINGS: PROMOTER PROFILED IN CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAGAZINE

          The foundation which DON KING stands on "has begun to
     shake," as "detractors are trying to dethrone the king of
     boxing, claiming that he's another of those shady characters
     giving the sport a black eye," according to Jerry Thomas of
     the CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAGAZINE.  King's enemies have him "on
     the ropes combating allegations that he has ripped off
     millions from many of the boxers he has promoted," including
     MIKE TYSON.  King, however, "is fighting back, desperately
     trying to protect his vulnerable empire and sinking public
     image, which has taken many vicious blows for most of his
     26-year career" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAGAZINE, 6/21 issue).
