Whoops! Tyson Fury Linked To Criminal Organization Involved In Drug Trafficking, Murder And Money Laundering

JAKARTA - Heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury was once framed for being linked to organized crime. Besides him, there is also the name of the super lightweight boxer Josh Taylor. These two British sports figures were criticized.

Specifically, they are linked to the Kinahan clan, an organization through which the United States awards a $5.4 million bounty to anyone who can dismantle it.

The Kinahan family is linked to drug trafficking, murder and money laundering. Among their many relationships, there is a relationship with two British boxers and suspicions of money laundering through those figures. And if proven, there can be sanctions.

"If you negotiate, you are linked to a criminal network," Drew Harris, a member of the Irish police, assures the BBC.

In particular, Daniel Kinahan, one of the brains behind the organization, is a well-known Dublin fight promoter, as well as a co-founder of MTK Global Agency, which represents big names like Fury.

There are many things that prove how close Kinahan is to boxing figures.

Like Fury's thanks to Kinahan for seeking a high-level fight against Joshua. And then a group photo. On the other hand, Taylor also made no secret of his relationship with Kinahan.

“He's a great advisor,” commented MTK Global.

And from the boxing organization itself, sympathy has been shown for Kinahan. "He improved the lives of boxers in a special way," said Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council.

In light of this, the security forces have made outspoken statements.

"If you work with them, you work with people involved in the drug trade. And with tragic consequences in Ireland and Spain, including murder."

Although Kinahan defended himself by stating that "this is a campaign against me", British media such as the BBC maintain that there is an ongoing relationship between the Kinahan clan and sport.
