And I suppose it's kind of a point of arrival for the company at that stage.
Kenan, is it there or certainly isn't pictured at that stage?
There's now a hundred or so boxers are training at state-of-the-art gyms and they're being treated with incredible, they're getting an incredible treatment, they're being fed by private chefs, they're being paid wages, which many boxers aren't of course, they just get a cut of whatever.
You know, proceeds come from their fights.
So the wages is a big thing.
And Kenan is still continuing, of course, with his other business.
Yeah, he was a write-off effectively as a boxer.
But it was a gamble by Daniel Kinnan.
But it really paid off because we're talking about big Irish boxers like Paddy Barnes and Michael Condon.
But Tyson Fury, a fit Tyson Fury, would be in a whole other level.
I mean, this is a world champion.
In fact, Billy Joe Saunders was their other world champion also.
So this was pushing them into the big leagues as opposed to being massive regional players, really hoovering up the best Irish and UK boxers.
And of course, as Tyson is shedding the pounds in Marbella, it's a big year for Kinnan.
In May 2017, he marries Cuiva Robinson in the Burj Al Arab Hotel.
And it becomes, I suppose, the most...
the most famous gangland wedding now in history it doesn't there's not an international article written about the Guinness that doesn't reference it because it becomes the guest list is a who's who not just of Irish criminals or not just of UK criminals but what is described as this European super cartel where all of the major drug lords really from Europe have at this point migrated to Dubai or nearly all of them anyway and em
And they all sort of converge for Daniel's wedding.
Of course, we find out later that the DEA have information about who's there.
But the international cartel guests include Richard Cashman, a very well-known UK criminal.
