I'm proud to say today that I have helped organise over a dozen major world title fights.

I continue to be involved in planning multiple record-breaking and exciting world title fights.

I'm doing all I can to give fight fans around the world the fights they want.

My professional commitment is always to the boxers, those who take the ultimate risk.

I firmly believe that my success has led to an increase in the campaign against me.

Pretty much anything can be said about me or inferred about me and it goes unchallenged and is sadly believed.

Last week it was inferred that I had threatened a reporter.

Let me be clear on this point before I address the other allegations against me.

I have full respect for journalism.

I have worked with journalists and I value their role.

I never have and I never would.

My concern is that I have not been on the receiving end of fair and credible journalism, especially in the UK and Ireland.

The recent BBC Panorama programme is a good example.

But nonetheless, it seemed the backlash had landed.

We got to a point around this period where big boxing figures couldn't do interviews without Kinahan routinely coming up.

Eddie Hearn appeared on the Seconds Out podcast after the Panorama programme.

It was by no means an explicit condemnation, but the word was Kinahan had stepped back.

Every fighter has a right to a point.

an advisor, a manager, a team of people to handle their career.

So it's fair to say the Kinnehan 2020 efforts to gain respectable prominence in the boxing world had been mixed.
