Shine Fights today said it bears the right to promote Ricardo Mayorga and his May 15 MMA bout with Din Thomas.
On Tuesday evening, the famed – and some may say notorious – boxing promoter Don King announced a cease-and-desist order for the upstart promotion that claimed Shine officials are interfering with his contract with Mayorga.
In a prepared release, Shine Fights CEO Devin Price stated his promotion “has a valid and exclusive promotional contract with Ricardo Mayorga for mixed martial arts” and the headlining bout will happen “without a doubt.”
