EXCLUSIVE: Eurosport shelves fight nights amid scrutiny around Probellum boxing promotion and alleged crime lord Daniel Kinahan - who has a $5MILLION reward for his arrest by the US government over international drug smuggling and money laundering

Eurosport has shelved plans to broadcast future shows staged by the Probellum promotional company amid increasing scrutiny on links between Daniel Kinahan and boxing.

Probellum's president Richard Schaefer has strongly insisted there is no connection between his business and the alleged crime lord, who has had a $5million bounty put on his head by the US government.

But the emerging force in British promotion has now suffered a significant blow, as Sportsmail understands Eurosport has dropped the remaining two shows of an agreement reached with them in March. The first of those, headlined by the WBO bantamweight world title fight between John Riel Casimero and Paul Butler in Liverpool, was due to be broadcast on Friday.
