- Kinahan alleged as head of organised crime cartel
- His lawyers dismiss ‘wild’ and ‘false’ allegations
Robert Smith, the general secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, has conceded there is nothing the governing body can do to prevent the continued involvement of Daniel Kinahan in the sport.
It is alleged Kinahan is the head of an organised crime cartel and Smith spoke of his disappointment at the damage done to boxing’s reputation following the BBC’s investigation. On Monday’s Panorama programme it was confirmed by lawyers acting for the management company MTK Global that Kinahan is still advising fighters.
