Irish boxing icon Barry McGuigan warns about Daniel Kinahan’s ‘grip’ over boxing

Irish boxing icon turned promoter Barry McGuigan is speaking out after the settlement of a legal case between himself and his former client, world champion Northern Irish boxer Carl Frampton.

Frampton sued McGuigan and Cyclone Promotions in 2017 for £6m. He claimed McGuigan, and McGuigan’s family members, hid millions of pounds of his earnings. McGuigan counter-sued Frampton, claiming Frampton breached his contract when he left Cyclone Promotions to join MTK global.

The case was abruptly settled last week. Details regarding the case’s settlement are not known publicly. However, the case seemed to end after news emerged that McGuigan had produced thousands of previously undisclosed emails.
