Politician urging for boxing reforms in wake of BBC’s ‘Boxing and the Mob’ exposé

According to Insider Stephen Farry, an MP who represents the North Down constituency in Northern Ireland, is calling for reforms in the sport of boxing. Farry’s requests come after the airing of ‘Boxing and the Mob’ on BBC’s Panorama. That documentary examined the connections between boxing and Daniel Kinahan, a man Irish courts, politicians and media accuse of controlling a $1 billion drug trafficking network.

Farry, who represents the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, has submitted an official request to the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) for information regarding Kinahan and his involvement in boxing.
