Promoter behind Fury-Joshua deal provokes outrage in Ireland

DUBLIN (AP) — The boxing promoter helping to arrange the all-British heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is the subject of dialogue between authorities in Ireland and the United Arab Emirates because of his links to organized crime. Daniel Kinahan is an Irishman currently based in the UAE. He was name-checked on three occasions by Fury when the WBC champion announced he had reached an agreement with three-belt titleholder Joshua for a fight in 2021. The High Court in Dublin previously named Kinahan as a senior figure in an organized crime gang involved in international drug trafficking operations and firearm offenses.
