Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy has confirmed that the two siblings have been refused access to the United States.
That’s because the two men are allegedly linked to Irish boxing promoter and suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan.

Who is Daniel Kinahan?
The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on Kinahan and the government are offering up to five million dollars to anyone who can provide the authorities with information leading to the arrest of three members of the Kinahan family.
What are Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury’s links with Daniel Kinahan?
Pictures emerged back in February, where Tyson Fury could be seen posing next to Kinahan in Dubai.
“Me and Tyson just can’t get into America at the minute and that’s the way it is,” Tommy explained MMA Fighting on SBN podcast.
“I don’t know [what’s happening], that’s what I pay my lawyers for and my legal team every day.
“They’re sorting it and I said please get this resolved as soon as possible and that’s where I’ve left it at the moment.
“I’m hoping it gets resolved ASAP because I want to come to America not just for boxing and of course for the big one to get this fight over the line, but if it doesn’t get resolved for a long time I can’t speak on that on how long this is going to take.”
“Because I had my picture taken with a man it doesn’t make me a criminal.
“I’m just a boxer. There could be a criminal in this building.”
With the Fury brothers banned from setting foot on US soil, that means that neither Tommy nor Tyson can hold fights in the United States, where the latter’s trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder took place a year ago.
Any upcoming bouts, therefore, will have to be held outside of the USA, although there is no shortage of venues willing to host a Fury fight if he continues boxing.
