Darren Till releases statement regarding his ‘friendship’ with alleged leader of the Kinahan Cartel

Top ranked UFC welterweight Darren Till made news earlier today when a photo was uploaded to Instagram showing him posing alongside Mohamed Bin Mansoor Al Arayedh and Daniel Kinahan. Arayedh is the Bahrain brand ambassador for MTK Global, the management company that represents Till. Kinahan is, according to dozens of reports in Irish news outlets, the alleged leader of the drug trafficking ring known as the Kinahan Cartel.

Kinahan, along with former professional boxer Matthew Macklin, founded Macklin’s Gym Marbella (MGM) in southern Spain in 2012. In 2017 MGM rebranded to MTK Global. Around this time the company announced that it severed ties with Kinahan.
