FBI Searches Don King's Florida Offices

MIAMI FBI agents Friday searched the Deerfield Beach, Florida, offices of U.S. sports promoter Don King, a flamboyant figure in boxing who has been in and out of trouble with the law. "We are serving search warrants at that business. It's part of an investigation," FBI spokesman Mike Fabregas said. He declined comment on the nature of the investigation. The search comes three months after King, one of professional boxing's most powerful promoters, testified in a fight-rigging probe that he did not influence the outcome of the March 13 Evander Holyfield-Lennox Lewis heavyweight bout.
