Boxer Matthew Macklin has vowed to Sky Sports that he will never deal with or work with his former “best friend” Daniel Kinahan again.
Macklin (39), who co-founded boxing firm MTK Global with Kinahan in 2012 and who once was close pals with him, has stayed silent on the mob boss in recent years - and hasn’t made his feelings known on the recent sanctions imposed upon him by the US government - until now.
In recent weeks, his role as a regular commentator and pundit for Sky Sports has come under scrutiny from some on social media - as dozens of boxing figures such as Tyson Fury, Michael Conlon and Bob Arum all distanced themselves from Kinahan - but he remained quiet.
