Like I can show you copies of emails I sent to various important figures within boxing.
And it was questions around Kiddin and pointing out who he is and what has been written here, et cetera.
And there was no response.
I know I brought it up in press conferences and you're, you know, you're bobbed off.
And you look at the residue of his involvement.
It goes very deep within the sport.
You look at the two Katie Taylor professional fights in Dublin against Chantel Cameron.
Cameron was trained by Jamie Moore, who was one of the first people shot as part of the Kinahan-Hutch feud.
In the case of mistaken identity, they thought he was Daniel Kinahan.
Her manager is Anthony Fitzpatrick, who was arrested alongside Kinahan
as part of Operation Shovel in Spain in 2012.
They weren't convicted of anything.
He lived in Kinnan's house in Dublin that was seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau and sold.
He lived there rent-free.
Now, there's no suggestion he's involved in criminality, but he was a key figure in MTK Global, and he's a key associate of Kinnan since childhood.
There's so many people within boxing like that.
And that poison that has seeped into the sport from the Kinnehan years, like people do defend it and say boxing has always been dirty, that there's been gangsterism as part of the sport's history.
But that doesn't excuse where we are now.
And I think one of the most remarkable things, Joe, is there's no willingness within boxing for change.
Nothing has changed within boxing since the sanctions against Kinnehan were announced.
