The legendary fight promoter was revealed as the benefactor of the Bomaye Fight Club on Saturday&#8217;s FITE+ event and Bauer stated that he will have a reoccurring role in MLW. &#8220;The goal, of course, is to have him there [in person], but having his presence with pre-tapes with Alex [Kane] those kinds of things,&#8221; Bauer said. &#8220;We will always find a way to do it.&#8221; Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/07\/09\/inside-don-kings-alliance-with-new-mlw-champion-alex-kane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYPost.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It was a hell of a surprise to see the shady boxing promoter revealed as the man behind the faction led by new MLW Heavyweight Champion Alex Kane, who is also quoted in the story. I&#8217;m still skeptical that the 91-year-old King will make an in-person appearance for MLW, but I never would have guessed that he&#8217;d be the benefactor, so insert Saturday&#8217;s PLE name here. The story notes that Bauer first told Kane about his plan to use King back in April.
