Daniel Kinahan’s notoriety is soaring. Just last week heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury publicly thanked Kinahan for his role in setting up a deal for two fights with Anthony Joshua. Kinahan is a special advisor to Bahrain’s KHK Sports, which is partnered with Irish boxing promoter MTK Global. MTK, which was co-founded by Kinahan, manages Fury as well as Billy Joe Saunders, Jamie Conlan and the UFC’s Darren Till.
Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn told The Times of London that Fury and his two promoters (Bob Arum at Top Rank and Frank Warren at Queensbury Promotions), told him he needed to negotiate with Kinahan to make these fights happen.
