Legendary promoter Don King arrived in Beijing, China on Tuesday and will be holding a press conference here today where he will announce his plans to promote a boxing event in Chengdu, China. The boxing card will be staged in November and is planned to be presented at the Chengdu National Stadium. After the Beijing press conference, the China Boxing Association has invited King to attend Olympic boxing. King and the Chinese government pledged to donate part of the proceeds of the boxing event to help rebuild Chengdu, which was devastated by an earthquake in May. King will visit Chengdu and host a press conference there with the city's Mayor Ge Lin on Thursday.
