‘He’s a great advisor’; MTK ‘s Josh Taylor defends suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan

Recently the BBC aired an investigative piece titled ‘Boxing and the Mob’, which examined the ties between the sport of boxing and Daniel Kinahan; a man who is accused by Irish courts, politicians and media of controlling a $1 billion drug empire.

In response to this Kinahan, who is thought to reside in Dubai, released a rare public statement, rebuking claims made by the BBC. In that statement Kinahan also rejected inferences that he was responsible for a threat against the life of one of the journalists involved in the program.

‘Boxing and the Mob’ claimed that Kinahan remains a central figure in MTK Global, a company he founded in 2005 (as Macklin’s Gym Marbella).
