Paul speaks to lawyer Eric Montalvo in today's episode. Montalvo is suing former boxing firm MTK Global and Kinahan on behalf of promoter Moses Heredia, who is seeking damages of up to $20million (€18.4m) for the alleged poaching of boxer JoJo Diaz. Heredia has already indicated that he intends to give a portion of that money to the families of innocent victims of the Kinahan cartel – and now his lawyer believes assets seized by the US government could be used to pay him.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleagues Chris Baldwin of the WAAR Room and Malissa Smith of Girlboxing on the WAAR Room. A video of this discussion has also been posted on the WAAR Sports YouTube page. We spoke with them by Zoom Monday, May 2. What a fight! The bout between Ireland's undisputed lightweight champion fighter, Katie Taylor, and Amanda Serrano, the Brooklyn-based seven-division champion who hails from Puerto Rico, was one for the ages. Taylor and Serrano made history as the first women headliners in the main arena at the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden. Fighting on a packed card, the two pound-for-pound greats fought an instant classic in front of a sold-out crowd of excited fans with a decibel level that was so loud, the referee couldn't hear the bell at the end of a few of the rounds. Taylor came out on top with a split-decision and a lot of talk of a rematch. Time will tell. The second half of the show looked at the impact of the U.S. government's decision to freeze the assets of the top echelon of the Kinahan Organized Crime Group, along with putting a five million dollar bounty leading to the arrest and conviction of the gang's leadership. We discussed the impact of this decision on boxing, including the shuttering of MTK Global's boxing empire. Bob Arum of Top Rank promised to cooperate with U.S. authorities but did admit he'd paid Daniel Kinahan four million dollars in fees for the Tyson Fury fights. The WBC also had to walk back their very recent public embrace of Daniel Kinahan. A lot of uncertainty remains on what the fallout will be. We shall continue to discuss it on future WAAR Room shows as more information becomes available.

Going back to the genesis of the lawsuit, in brief, Boxrec refused to list the results arising from the Dubai Event mentioned in Part 2 that took place a year ago, and in this regard, the lawsuit claims "MTK owner Daniel Kinahan and his business partner Ahmed Seddiqi were personally involved in the decision and execution of conspiracy in collusion with the BoxRec Defendants to suppress the results at issue." In paragraph 222, it says with respect to the several events in question: "All the fighters that participated in the three promoter events at issue did their job." And then in 223: "They prepared to compete, risked their lives, only to have the result of their efforts arbitrarily excluded by a website acting as the final judge and jury, while the ABC cannot do anything." Followed by 224: "The ABC did nothing to intervene and resolve the issues related to the Event and Zimbabwe Event." And finally in 225: "The ABC did try to get BoxRec to enter the results of the Brazil Event, but BoxRec has refused to do anything. BoxRec has refused to enter the results regardless of the pleas made to it." In addition to libel and tortious conduct alleged in the lawsuit, and stated losses, as well as unfair business practices, discrimination and a civil conspiracy, we need to bring the RICO act by way of explanation because in paragraph 439: "The root cause of this action is BoxRec's refusal to list the April 10, 2021 Event and to record its results at the command of a widespread criminal enterprise engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity across State lines, a conspiracy to suppress Plaintiff Mendy and his company Lion Heart Boxing Productions as well as events he and his fighters are involved in, and a conspiracy to engage in racketeering activity involving numerous RICO predicate acts during the past ten (10) calendar years." And in paragraph 440: "The predicate acts alleged here cluster around not only the criminal acts of MTK Global and Kinahan, but also the criminal acts of ABC and various of its officers and directors." Critically, in paragraph 449. "This dispute arises from Defendant's (1) violation of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act 18. In paragraph 450: "At the center of and the driver of the conspiracy is Mr. Daniel Kinahan, Mr. Kinahan's company MTK, and his UAE partner Ahmed Seddiqi, and their associates." Followed by "MTK, a Dubai, UAE, and British based company, holds itself out as the “biggest force in business of boxing” in its capacity as a boxing management and promotional company. MTK was co-founded and is in part owned and controlled by Mr. Daniel Kinahan, a noted member of Ireland's notorious Kinahan Cartel, also known as the Kinahan Organized Crime Group (“KOCG”) by law enforcement officials." Furthermore, it is alleged: "MTK and Mr. Kinahan do not possess a proper license or authority to perform either management or promotional services in the UAE or United States. MTK is not licensed in the UAE and the United States as a boxing manager or a boxing promoter. MTK, however, provides both manager services and promotion services in the UAE and the USA through proxies, which are prohibited under the Ali Act firewall provisions." Finally, it should be noted, as it is clearly explained in the lawsuit: "MTK was co-founded by Mr. Daniel Kinahan. Mr. Daniel Kinahan is known as the head of Kinahan Organized Crime Group (“KOCG”) in Ireland. The KOCG is allegedly responsible for several murders, drug trafficking, and money laundering. The KOCG is one of Europe's biggest drug cartels. Law enforcement experts believe that Mr. Daniel Kinahan started MTK to launder ill-gotten gains from drug trafficking. Mr. Daniel Kinahan is wanted for question by several law enforcement agencies due to the murderous activities of the KOCG. On or about September 16, 2018, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) banned Mr. Kinahan and roughly twenty-six other members of the KOCG from entering America due to narco-terrorism concerns."
Let's keep this nugget in mind when we talk about the civil complaint being leveled against Boxrfec, the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) and MTK Global, et al: "Former interim middleweight world titlist Avtandil Khurtsidze was found guilty on Tuesday in New York federal court of racketeering, wire fraud and other charges in connection with a sprawling and violent criminal ring," in a story reported by ESPN in 2018. "He faces up to 40 years in prison." To make matters worse, within the 100+ page lawsuit, serious allegations are made within the lawsuit, such as "309. BoxRec, acting under color of state law, as a result of the authority supposed given to it by the ABC, acts like a Gestapo and routinely violates Promoters' and fighter civil rights without any repercussion to it and without any recourse for the Promoters or fighters, including plaintiffs." The core issue is complex but involves the plaintiffs' complaint of the suppression of competition, as a result of the co-conspirators' monopolies, violating US Boxing Acts, leading to a situation today whereby it is contended that "BoxRec is placed in a position of absolute power to decide whose results it should accept in its database as opposed to being a record keeper that simply includes records that can be verified as accurate...". With respect, therefore, of paragraphs 1 through 358 in the lawsuit, the plaintiffs contend "a monopoly in boxing is in violation of the Sherman Act." #TalkinFight #BoxingNews #Boxrec

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleagues Chris Baldwin of the WAAR Room and Malissa Smith of Girlboxing on the WAAR Room. A video of this discussion has also been posted on the WAAR Sports YouTube page. Our guest was Kieran Cunningham, the Chief Sports Writer and Current Affairs Columnist at the Irish Daily Star. We spoke with him by Zoom Sunday, January 30, the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday -- a bloody massacre when British soldiers opened fire killing 13 unarmed peaceful protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland. Cunningham explained the significance of Bloody Sunday and its impact on the Irish boxing community, including retired boxer John Duddy, whose uncle, Jackie Duddy, a promising young amateur fighter, was the first person murdered. As a sports writer, Cunningham is perhaps best known for his in-depth reporting on the impact of criminal gangs on boxing in the Republic of Ireland, including alleged drug kingpin Daniel Kinahan. Cunningham provided an in-depth analysis on the tentacles from MTK Global that have encroached on the integrity of the sport. He also discussed the impact of "sports-washing" in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia and Dubai, and how the absence of an international professional boxing governance organization continues to undermine the sport.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleagues Chris Baldwin of the WAAR Room and Malissa Smith of Girlboxing on the WAAR Room. A video of this discussion has also been posted on the WAAR Sports YouTube page. We spoke with them Monday, October 25. Women's boxing is well past the time when it should be thought of as an afterthought, a side show, or a joke. With this generation's crop of brilliant fighters of the likes of Claressa Shields, Katie Taylor, and Amanda Serrano -- not to mention the women who will be competing over the next few weeks to include two unification title bouts at super lightweight and the super fight at super bantamweight for the WBC Diamond belt between two of Mexico's greatest fighters, Mariana Juarez, known as "La Barbie", and Jackie "La Princesa Azteca" Nava, this Saturday -- we'd say women's boxing is alive and very well indeed, thank you. But what will it take to push the sport into the 21st century where it belongs? Sure, Showtime's Stephen Espinoza assured our own LA Fight Goddess, Chris Baldwin, that we could look forward to seeing female bouts on upcoming cards in 2022, but the truth is we've heard it all before. On this show, we talked about women's boxing's brilliant Fall, options and opportunities for the future, and the recent move of MTK Global -- yes, that MTK Global -- into the realm of women's boxing.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with our colleagues Chris Baldwin of the WAAR Room and Malissa Smith of Girlboxing on the WAAR Room. A video of this discussion has also been posted on the WAAR Sports YouTube page. While many are still discussing Tyson Fury's defense of his WBC heavyweight belt, less attention is being paid, especially in the boxing media, to the man whom he said is his advisor, Daniel Kinahan. According to promoter Bob Arum, Kinahan is also an advisor to the unbeaten WBO welterweight champ Terence Crawford, the unbeaten and undisputed 140-pound champ Josh Taylor, and WBO super featherweight champ Jamel Herring. Kinahan was co-founder of what is now the management company MTK Global, although officially it is claimed that he is no longer formally a part of it. Among MTK Global's many dozens of fighters is the unbeaten WBO middleweight champ Savannah Marshall, who appears headed to a showdown next year with two-division unbeaten champion Claressa Shields. So who is this boxing powerbroker, Daniel Kinahan? According to the High Court of Ireland, he is a senior figure in organized crime on a global scale and head of the Kinahan organized crime group. Kinahan is now based in Dubai. To find out more about Kinahan, including his role in boxing, we spoke with one of the world's leading authorities on the crime world and especially Irish organized crime, Nicola Tallant. She is the Investigations Editor for the Sunday World of Ireland, hosts and produces the Crime World podcast, and is author of the wonderful new book, "Clash of the Clans: The Rise of the Irish Narcos and Boxing's Dirty Secret".

We discuss the relationship between Inder's Sikhi and his boxing career, the amateur boxing beard rule and how, as a case study for Lions MMA, Inder was able to help have the rule overturned. We talk about how representation in sport matters, how Inder got into boxing, what his training schedule is like and his fighting style. We then move onto how Inder keeps himself in the right frame of mind when approaching a fight and dealing with a loss. We then find out about the glass ceilings Inder has had to face and smash through during this boxing career. To conclude, we round up the conversation discussing role models, food and what the future might hold for Inder Singh Bassi. Two quotes in particular from the podcast that stick out: “I'm not here just to make numbers. There's some fighters who are here just to make numbers and they'll box bums and they'll have 10 - 12 fights and win them all. But it's not the same as boxing people who are there to win.” “From a young age, when I was 16, I had a Bhagat Singh phone case. It's always been Bhagat Singh, it's not because of who he was, it was someone who done something at such a young age and left a legacy, good or bad. That's what I want to do too. I know I'm not a freedom fighter obviously and I'm not here to fight a war against no government but in my field I want to leave a legacy.”
Our Hosts Colm, Ciaran and Ryan speak to Jamie about his Vice Presidency role at MTK Global, his life as a fighter, growing up in Belfast and how his brother Michael was destined for great things.
