Police warn sporting world over Daniel Kinahan connections as $5million bounty offered

Professional sportspeople and organisations have been sternly warned over being involved with the Kinahan organised crime group, which has been hit with worldwide financial sanctions.

Among those sanctioned is Daniel Kinahan, the founder of MTK Global who has remained active in boxing despite claiming he's no longer involved in the company. Kinahan, 44, was publicly praised by Tyson Fury after playing a pivotal role in sealing a two-fight deal between 'The Gypsy King' and Anthony Joshua in 2020.

The bouts never took place due to legal intervention from Deontay Wilder, but Kinahan's role in negotiations was very apparent. He has also worked with the likes of undisputed light-welterweight champion Josh Taylor and Michael Conlan - although there are no allegations of wrongdoing against any boxers who have worked with Kinahan.
