Kinahan is the owner of MTK Global (formerly Macklin’s Gym Marbella - MGM), which he set up with his partner, former British-Irish boxer Matthew Macklin. The gym, which has since evolved into a boxing promotion and management company, is based in Spain, which is one of the Kinahan cartel’s strongholds. Yet once the Kinahan-Hutch rivalry escalated following the Regency Hotel shooting, Kinahan took a backseat role in the organization due to ‘bad publicity.’ That was when the gym rechristened itself as MTK – Mack the Knife – Gym, and claimed to have severed ties with Daniel Kinahan. However, gym founder Macklin revealed in November 2017 that Kinahan “still advises lots of fighters.”
In 2017, Tyson Fury, posted a picture of himself posing with Kinahan on twitter. Fury is represented by MTK, along with several other notable boxers and UFC fighters such as Darren Till, Carl Frampton, Billy Joe Saunders, and Phil Baroni.
Despite his alleged criminal background, Kinahan continues to make appearances alongside notable fighters. In March 2020, he posedalongside UFC welterweight Darren Till and MTK Global’s Bahrain Brand Ambassador Mohamed Bin Mansoor Al Arayedh. When faced with criticism for his affiliation with the alleged leader of the drug trafficking ring, Tillreleased a statement defending his “friendship” with Kinahan.
