The Irish Mirror has learned that the US District Court of California has accepted a default in the case against Kinahan and former boxing firm MTK Global, meaning it can now go ahead without him and an imminent judgment against him is expected.

Top lawyer Eric Montalvo is suing former boxing firm MTK Global and Kinahan on behalf of promoter Moses Heredia, who is seeking damages of up to $20million (€18.4million) for the alleged poaching of boxer JoJo Diaz.
