Tyson Fury has split from his controversial adviser Daniel Kinahan, according to his promoter Bob Arum.
Fury faced a backlash after thanking Kinahan, who has been named in court by a judge as a senior figure in Irish organised crime, for brokering a deal for his 2021 clash with Anthony Joshua.
Kinahan has no convictions but the Irish government had put pressure on broadcasters to prevent Kinahan “whitewashing” his reputation.
Arum told the Telegraph: "Over the weekend I’ve had a lot of conversations with Tyson Fury and what we both decided is that myself, Top Rank and Fury will do all negotiations for fights in the future.
"Whether it’s for Joshua or Wilder or anybody else. We’ve informed Eddie Hearn about that. He knows where to go for the negotiations. Tyson and I have had long negotiations about it. That’s the way it’s going to be.
"This will eliminate a lot of confusion, we’ve talked with Dan, who Tyson and I both love and admire and respect, and he understands that it’s best the negotiations on Tyson’s side be handled that way. ‘Both Tyson and I have each discussed this with Dan and he is amenable and satisfied and wished us luck. He only wants the best for Tyson Fury."
