Promoter arranging Fury-Joshua fight dropped by Bahrainis

The controversial boxing promoter helping to arrange the all-British heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been dropped as an adviser to a Bahraini sports organization that is looking to bring high-profile bouts to the region. Daniel Kinahan was recently hired as special adviser to KHK Sports, which is owned by the Prince of Bahrain, and was publicly praised by Fury for bringing together the camps of the current two world champions in boxing's heavyweight division for a possible two-fight deal. KHK said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday it has ''discontinued engagement with Daniel Kinahan and he is no longer an adviser to'' the organization.
