Now, what follows from that is early 2019.

And maybe he feels he's got his narrative out there because MTK ends this year long ban on the global, you know, their boxers speaking to the Irish media.

And they had also said they weren't signing up any more Irish boxers.

And they state we are a truly global company, but Irish boxing will always remain close to the heart of MTK.

It would be nice to be free to operate there as we do in every other country in the world.

And my hope is that the Irish press will support our efforts to do so.

Now, the company is at this point pushing into Kazakhstan, South Africa, China and India, where the fights could be filmed and sent back to pay-per-view format, which is going to make them a huge amount of money.

But at the same time, the ambition is,

in Ireland hasn't been left behind because they are hoping that they will be able to pitch Chantal Cameron, who's also been taken out of the Barry McGuigan stable, against Katie Taylor.

And there's kind of agitation about a kind of, you know, will they fight and etc., etc.

?

So in July 2019, MTK and Top Rank announced this boxing extravaganza in Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan.

And Bob Arum says about it, the future of boxing is global.

It's a sport understood by people around the world.

We're pleased to be working with MTK Global in our mutual effort to globalise the sport on a major basis.

But back home in Ireland...

there is still problems for them.

You know, it's not being ignored what's happened.

And I think the former assistant commissioner, John O'Driscoll, Ken, gives an interview around this possible Cameron Taylor bout.

Yeah, and of course, you know, he cites Kelly Harrington as a reminder of everything the sport of boxing should be about.
