Daniel Kinahan all smiles as he poses for pics with Tyson Fury at Dubai gym

Daniel Kinahan has been snapped alongside world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury at a Dubai gym.

Kinahan was pictured alongside 'The Gyspy King', who has no involvement in crime, at TK MMA and Fitness in the UAE in an Instagram post shared by former boxer Zaid Khan.

The pair were also seen in a picture posted by Irish influencer Niall Ryan, who shared the snap of him alongside Fury and Kinahan to his 25,000 followers.

The MTK Global co-founder has previously worked with the two-time world champion, and Fury publicly thanked Kinahan in 2020 for his role in putting together a fight with Anthony Joshua - which subsequently didn't take place.

Speaking in a clip posted online, Fury said: "I'm just after getting off the phone there with Daniel Kinahan.

"He's just informed me that the biggest fight in British boxing history has just been agreed.

"Big shout out Dan, he got this done. Literally over the line. Two fight deal."

It comes after English UFC star Darren Till described Kinahan as a 'good pal' last December.

The MMA star, who also has no involvement in crime, tweeted a picture of himself and a smiling Kinahan, stating: “Good stroll on the beach tonight in Dubai with one of me good pals.”

In December, a report from a global crime think tank named Kinahan as the last man standing in a super-cartel of arch criminals flooding Europe with billions of euro worth of cocaine.

The internationally renowned InSight Crime think tank says Kinahan was one of the leaders of the super cartel that smuggled 33 tonnes of cocaine worth a massive €6.9 billion on the streets into Holland in 2018 alone — but it has now been broken up by the US Drugs Enforcement Agency.

“At present, Kinahan is the last member of the consortium still at large,” InSight Crime says in an examination of the 44-year-old Dubliner’s role in organised crime. The other leaders of the cartel were allegedly Ridouan Taghi, Naoufal ‘Belly’ Fassih, and Raffaele Imperiale.
