And that really was that.

In so much as one can tell, Kinnehan's departure from the sport was not total or instant.

Occasionally, reports would surface of him attempting some involvement out in the Middle East.

But there is no doubt, from the heady days of 2020 and that Tyson Fury post, his influence had waned.

Not least as Saudi Arabian influence grew.

And now, all of a sudden, Daniel Kinahan is in a Dubai prison awaiting extradition to Ireland.

His fate will be decided by the courts.

For the boxing industry here, there is a degree of picking up the pieces after all the acrimony of the MTK years.

Between Bernard Dunne's world title fight in 09 and now talk of Katie Taylor at Crowe Park, big time international fights in Dublin have been a non-starter.

And against the glittering backdrop of Olympic success,

it has been a rough period for the sport.

Let's talk to Nicola Tallent and Ciarán Cunningham.

Bring us up to date.

What's been happening?

Well, a sort of a seismic thing in the world of crime reporting is that Daniel Kinahan has been arrested in Dubai.

He is in custody over there.

He will undoubtedly try and fight the extradition back to Ireland, but he's wanted here before the courts on serious charges.

We don't have them exactly yet, but it looks like a kind of an overarching case against him where the state will accuse him of involvement in murder and organised crime.

And is he likely to have a fair chance of fighting extradition or is he up against it on that front?

It's very difficult to know how any of that goes in the Emirates because it's not an open court system.
