‘The Fight for Freedom and Peace’ | BlackPressUSA

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “The Fight for Freedom and Peace” is dedicated to brave and courageous members of the Ukraine, people of the Ukraine that Russia has decided to invade and declare war because of a bruised ego. Because this really isn’t a war this is a family feud that has turned into a tragedy with homicidal effect,” opined promoter Don King. “Genocide and killing people every day, I just got a call from them last night and they said they again bombed Kyiv because the Klitschko brothers are there and were going to be here to gain further support for their cause for fighting for freedom, independence, peace, sovereignty and prosperity.”
