So he would be a kind of very much a local icon for that reason.

After the sanctions in 2022, he was one of the first people to come out and speak about Daniel Kinnan in a positive way.

He spoke about him after a fight saying,

saying he regarded as Kinnan as a friend.

He said, for me, it's a simple thing.

It's a friend outside the gym and I just meet him for advice and things and he helped me through my career.

I don't follow really this kind of news, he said.

I focus on the sport.

I focus on my family.

I focus on entertaining people and that's the most important.

And he had said earlier on about Daniel Kinnan that that man is

a friend and an advisor.

He's the one who picked me up every time life would kick me down.

He's a real man of his word.

And, you know, he's the one who teach me what does it mean, real family, real friend.

It's someone I cannot thank him enough for where I am today and who I am today.

He teach me the real manner.

He teach me how to be responsible in my family, my friends and my close ones.

That's why I said that, all the shout out and credit to him.

So he is obviously a Kinnaghan fan and the fact that the passage of time has shown I suppose more and more information about the Kinnaghan's deep involvement at the very highest level of organised crime across the globe hasn't put him off hanging around with Daniel.
