FURY NOT ON U.S. KINAHAN BAN LIST

Promoter says champ never had business dealings with mob boss

- JOHN HAND

BOXER Tyson Fury is not affected by US travel bans placed on more than 600 people connected to mob boss Daniel Kinahan, his co-promoter revealed yesterday.

Bob Arum insists the world heavyweight champion had no business dealings with Kinahan and therefore will not be refused entry.

Authorities are barring anyone who had any relationship with Kinahan, which includes those with legitimate dealings in the sport.

Asked if Fury is on the list, Arum told the Irish Mirror: "No, not at all. Fury never had a business relationship with Kinahan.

“The people being affected by these sanctions are those who had business dealings with Kinahan”

Tyson, 33, nicknamed The Gypsy King, had been advised by Kinahan in an unlicensed role, and in February, he was pictured with the drug baron in Dubai.

The Irish Mirror also previously revealed Kinahan was paid up to €7.5million for his role in Fury’s fight negotiations for four of his fights.
