MTK stops working after checking media

Things have gotten worse for MTK Global and Probellum with previous operations shutting down as of today.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, the two companies released statements after sanctions were imposed on Daniel Kinahan, who is accused of being the head of an organization responsible for murder, trafficking, and trafficking. drugs and guns as well as money laundering.

‘MTK parted ways with Mr. Kinahan in 2017. He has lost interest in the business since then and will not be involved with us in the future.’

“We can confirm that we will not have any business relationship or communication with him,” Probellum said.

While the US Treasury Department’s $5 million reward continues to hover over his head ‘resulting in the disruption of the KOCG (Kinahan Organized Crime Group) or the arrest or conviction of Kinahan’ there is still a mess to be cleaned up for MTK and Probellum.

Following the resignation of their CEO Bob Yalen, MTK Global announced today that they will no longer be operating causing many people to lose their jobs and fight without management. Their statement said the level of scrutiny and criticism they have faced since the Kinahan Government’s sanctions is unfair.

‘As the top promoters have now informed us that they will be severing all ties with MTK and will no longer work with our fighters, we have taken the decision to cease operations. by the end of this month.’

The question is what will happen to the number of fighters that were once under their control and patronage? Time is uncertain for many.

‘Our priority in the coming weeks will be to ensure that our world-class boxers are supported to find new partnerships as quickly as possible,’ the MTK announcement said. write.

And after being rumored a few days ago, it was reported last night that Probellum’s five-match televising deal with Eurosport has ended with the remaining two shows set to take place. One of them is expected to go ahead this weekend.

The main event should have been Paul Butler challenging John Riel Casimero to a WBO bantamweight title but the Filipino’s attempt to lift weights through a sauna, which the British Boxing Board condemns, means Butler will now Duel a temporary version against Jonas Sultan. Casimero’s team now have 48 hours to ‘show’ why he should not be stripped of the title.

All of this comes in a week as Tyson Fury, a well-known associate of Kinahan, and one who has publicly praised him, is preparing for his second WBC heavyweight title defense against Dillian Whyte. Fury was highlighted by the media yesterday at public exercise about his relationship with Kinahan and the sanctions imposed on the Irishman.

“It’s none of my business,” Fury kept saying. And in an interview with Sky Sports, where the champion became more and more angry with the reporter who repeatedly pressed the right and right buttons.

“And I won’t be interviewing Sky anymore,” Fury said at the end of the interview.

This was not the week promoter Frank Warren had been expecting.

So it seems that the cheerful tune that has been played by Kinahan’s boxing friends and associates in recent times has now stopped.

Their silence was jarring.
