A Closer Look: Daniel Kinahan, boxing, the rise & fall

About this episode

The episode discusses Daniel Kinahan's influence in boxing and his recent arrest, exploring his dual existence in the sport and organized crime.

Daniel Kinahan’s recent arrest marked a significant turning point in the long-running pursuit of one of Ireland’s most influential organised crime figures. Throughout this period of elusiveness, however, his presence in boxing was altogether more overt, with Kinahan routinely and openly name-checked by fighters and power brokers as one of the sport’s foremost figures. Crime World’s Nicola Tallant and journalist Kieran Cunningham join Joe to discuss Kinahan’s dual existence, his rise and fall within boxing circles, and how things are likely to play out from here.
