Tyson Fury and Bob Arum claim they will no longer negotiate through reported mob boss Daniel Kinahan.

A couple of weeks ago Daniel Kinahan—who Irish courts, politicians and media name as a ‘well-known’ mob boss—looked on course to transform his image from a suspected underworld kingpin to one of international boxing’s major players. However, after the government of Ireland got involved those plans seemed to have been severely damaged.

BoxingScene reported yesterday that Tyson Fury and Bob Arum, two key figures who have recently worked to elevate Kinahan’s status in boxing, would not be working with the alleged leader of the $1 billion drug and gun trafficking operation sometimes refered to as the Kinahan Cartel.
