A few weeks ago MTK Global, one of the most powerful companies in world combat sports, sensationally announced that it would cease operations. The company, which represented Tyson Fury, Billy Joe Saunders, Darren Till and Aleksandar Rakic, said it was folding because of intense scrutiny regarding their links to Daniel Kinahan.
Kinahan has been sanctioned by the US government, who accuse him of running a billion dollar cocaine cartel. In 2012 Kinahan founded MGM Marbella, the company that would later become MTK. He has remained (despite MTK’s claims) an advisor for the company’s top talent, as evidenced by high-profile shout-outs from Fury, Till and others.
