Top Rank paid reputed Irish mobster Daniel Kinahan more than $1 million for each of four bouts involving Tyson Fury it promoted from 2019 through 2021, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told Yahoo Sports.
Arum, whose company will co-promote Fury’s April 23 title defense in London against Dillian Whyte with Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions, told Yahoo Sports Thursday he’d paid Kinahan “at least a million” in each of those four fights against Deontay Wilder twice, Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin. The fights between Fury and Wilder were each for the WBC heavyweight title. The other two bouts were non-title matches.
