Hollywood, Florida (CNN) -- He's known for his big hair and his big personality and at 81 years old, legendary boxing promoter Don King is still hard at work trying to turn his big dreams into reality. His latest endeavor: a boxing and music event in North Korea.

"This came about by me thinking about Korea and feeling that Korea, that it should be one Korea," said King. When asked about the odds of this event actually coming together, King says, "It's very difficult to believe, I understand that."

Understanding King may help explain why he believes he can make this event happen.

He is showboating again. Will try to pose with Kim Jong-eun. Kim might fall for it, in light of his unusual publicity stunt(Mickey Mouse concert, and joyride at an amusement park.)

I met him in Connecticut one time. He seems like a nice guy. At least he acted nice around us who were able to meet him while he was walking around. Oh I was at Foxwoods.

This is not related to your comment, but come to think of it, his hair style is a wild inflamed version of Kim Jong-il’s.

Don King:

“To the best of my elocution, or is that, electrocution....I propose, or suppose, that we have a championship boxing match in North Korea, or, East Korea. Or, we could hold it in Little Korea in San Francisco, or San Diego. I have many ideas that do not stay in my brain, at least in the sense, or say, nonsense.....
