播音员：通过讲述Jamie Moore在马贝拉的枪击事件，引出了Daniel Kinahan及其犯罪集团与拳击界的联系。该事件突显了Kinahan集团的暴力和影响力，以及其与拳击界的复杂关系。 Sean Williams：美国财政部对Daniel Kinahan实施制裁，并悬赏500万美元缉拿他，突显了他与拳击界，特别是泰森·富里的联系，以及其犯罪集团的性质。这标志着对Kinahan集团打击的重大进展，但其犯罪网络的复杂性以及其成员的逃亡，使得彻底铲除该集团仍面临挑战。 Nicola Tallant：Daniel Kinahan通过其拳击推广公司MGM（后更名为MTK）渗透拳击界，利用其影响力为其犯罪活动提供掩护，并长期以来与拳击界的黑社会联系密切相关。2016年Regency酒店袭击事件后，Kinahan集团继续其在拳击界的活动，尽管爱尔兰和西班牙警方对该集团展开了打击。MTK公司（前身为MGM）的运作模式，以及其与Daniel Kinahan的关系，揭示了该集团如何通过控制媒体和利用拳击界的资源来维持其影响力。Kinahan家族的犯罪活动始于爱尔兰的毒品交易，并逐渐发展成为一个跨国犯罪集团，Daniel Kinahan利用其父辈的犯罪基础，并通过拳击运动来掩盖其犯罪活动。美国财政部对Kinahan集团的制裁以及MTK公司的倒闭，标志着对该集团打击的重大进展，但其犯罪网络的复杂性以及其成员的逃亡，使得彻底铲除该集团仍面临挑战。尽管Kinahan集团的影响力有所减弱，但其对拳击界的影响仍将持续一段时间，需要时间来彻底清除其影响。

Shownotes Transcript

For years, Dublin-born Daniel Kinahan built on the work of his heroin-lord father Christy, aka the Dapper Don, to become one of the world's biggest cocaine kingpins. Kinahan fostered some of boxing's brightest talents, including world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury via his Marbella, Spain-based promotion firm and gym, MGM. But in 2016 assassins came for Kinahan on his home turf, kicking off a gang war and sending his cartel into a tailspin. Kinahan decamped to Dubai (where else), and MGM's promotions became MTK...but it continued as the latest in a long line of mob ties with boxing going back to the Luccheses in NYC. Last month the US Treasury slapped a $5m reward on Kinahan's head. Soon after, UAE authorities froze his accounts. Now he's on the run—but his fighters are still going strong. How did one of Europe's top mobsters get such a firm grip on the boxing world? And will Daniel Kinahan live out his fugitive days on an Afghan compound? We spoke to journalist and author Nicola Tallant, who's reported on the Kinahans for years, to find out more.
