It has been reported that the man behind MTK Global the boxing promotional and management company Daniel Kinahan has been arrested in DUBAI on an Irish arrest warrant.
Kinahan is the alleged BOSS of a major international CRIME network, although has never been convicted of any crimes and has been subject to an Irish arrest warrant and the YANKS putting a $5 MILLION bounty on his head in 2022.
MTK Global promoted a number of major boxing shows and worked with numerous high profile BOXERS like Tyson Fury, Carl Frampton, Billy Joe Saunders and Josh Taylor before the company SHUT abruptly after the DEA [Drug Enforcement Authority) made doing business with the company impossible.
It will be interesting to see how things pan out from here and if IRISH are successful in the extradition of Kinahan and if in turn they then hand him over to US Authorities.
