Tyson Fury: My relationship with Daniel Kinahan is my business

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has said any relationship he has with Daniel Kinahan is private as he answered questions from the media on the topic for the first time since Kinahan was sanctioned by American authorities last week.

Daniel Kinahan, who has been named in the High Court as the controller and manager of the Kinahan crime organisation, has been placed on an Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list, which is a list of the US Treasury Department.

Fury has previously revealed that Kinahan was helping broker a potential heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua and had made an agreement. The fight did not materialise.

He was pictured in Dubai earlier this year with Kinahan.

Fury has no involvement in crime.

Speaking to reporters at a public workout in London ahead of his title defence on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, Fury said Kinahan is a fan of the sport and he had little to divulge on their relationship.

He said: "I've said this to quite a few people this week. I don't get involved in other people's businesses and I keep mine to myself and that's it.

"What other people do in their lives, I've got my own troubles and my own problems to work on myself with a wife and six kids. I keep my business to myself.

"The man has been a boxing fan. There is not much more I can say. There is not much more of a relationship. There is none."

Asked if there was an ongoing relationship with Daniel Kinahan, he said it was private.

"That's none of your business and none of anybody else's business I think is it? My business is my business, your business is yours, and that's it.

"It's got nothing to do with me in boxing. I'm just a stupid boxer who gets punched in the face for a living. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here would I?"
