The company, which had previously listed boxers including Tyson Fury and Billy Joe Saunders among its fighters, was co-founded by Kinahan in 2012

Speaking to Sky Sports News on Tuesday, Fury said Kinahan's US government sanctions were"none of my business" and his sole focus was on the upcoming world heavyweight fight with Dillian Whyte.In a statement released on Wednesday, three days before Fury's fight with Whyte, MTK Global said it has"faced unprecedented levels of unfair scrutiny and criticism" since the sanctions were imposed.

"It is a matter of public record that Mr Kinahan's involvement in MTK ceased in 2017, and despite repeated reassurances in this regard, unfounded allegations about his ongoing association with us and our fighters persist," the firm said. "Since leading promoters have now informed us that they will be severing all ties with MTK and will no longer work with our fighters, we have taken the difficult decision to cease operations at the end of this month."The company said its gyms are run independently and will stay open for the foreseeable future."It's none of my business. I keep my own business to myself, that's it.

Daniel Kinahan, who has long denied any wrongdoing, is one of three people in his family who are wanted by the US government.The US treasury department said each member of the Kinahan group reports to Mr Kinahan, who is believed to run the day-to-day operations of the organisation. Mr Kinahan lives in Dubai, where in recent years he has attempted to reposition himself as a boxing promoter.
