Champion super-middleweight boxer Billy Joe Saunders has gone to bat for Daniel Kinahan, again. Saunders latest defense of Kinahan, a man named by Irish courts as the acting boss of the Kinahan Criminal Organization, comes after MTK Global’s new CEO Bob Yalen said the reported mobster was stepping away from the sport.
Boxing Scene reports that in response to Kinahan’s alleged decision to leave boxing, Saunders questioned whether he would continue on with his career.
“There’s only one man I can trust and go away and work and tell him this is what I want to happen, and sometimes he’ll make it better,” said Saunders in a video that appeared on IFL TV.
