Boxing: 'Crime boss' Daniel Kinahan still working in the sport

He was laundering tens of millions, if not more through boxing. Much harder to do anything with all their cash if none of it is "cleaned" and can be used in legit major purchases or investments. Only so much you can spend on gas and groceries and all major purchases and investments at some stage are required to inquire about the source of your funds...
And he was a bit of a narcissist at heart. He wanted the limelight and to be a celebrity in terms of being known as a mover and shaker in the boxing world. But he did an Icarus and got too close to the sun. If he had kept his head down he may have lasted a lot longer.
 
Boxing is a shady sport...what a SHOCKER!!!

Waiting for Wilder to latch onto this, its possibly the only excuse he hasnt used yet.


PEDs and being managed by a crime lord are two valid criticisms against Fury that Fury can't even argue against without making himself look bad, but they're the two things that Wilder has never brought up.

The stupidity is hilarious.

"Sandra Vaughan worked with gangster Daniel Kinahan but is now putting a major investment behind Glasgow’s Sur Wellness, which she claims will offer plastic surgery to rival the famous Harley Street in London, after she quit as CEO of boxing promotions firm MTK Global in July 2020 – a company previously run by Kinahan, who last year had a $5 million bounty put on his head by the US authorities. Members of his Dubai-based Irish family are wanted over crimes including murder, firearms and drug trafficking.

Millionaire businesswoman Vaughan came to prominence when she paid £10million in 2008 to buy out the worldwide Fake Bake business, a spray-tan which has been used by a host of celebrities.

Karen Addison, 42, who is a director of the new company behind it, Sur Wellness Ltd, along with Vaughan and another of her long-term business associates, Ronan Cruise, 57, who worked on her Fake Bake empire."

These Lovely ladies are scary and Kinahan loyal.
 
Probellum - President, Richard Schaefer is back.
If you remember he quit Golden Boy Promotions took many boxers and created Ringstar Sports & sold it to David Haye Hayemaker losing all his boxers. So went to MTK Global got lots of boxers tied to MTK and created Probellum. After the cartel became news Probellum also seemed to fade and news of Schaefer seem to fade. Now he is back but with a whole new gig.
