Taoiseach calls for media to boycott Fury v Joshua fight

The Taoiseach says he believes it would be appropriate for media and sports organisations to have nothing to do with the upcoming Tyson Fury - Anthony Joshua fights.
The government is in contact with authorities in the UAE over the fight organised by Daniel Kinahan.
Kinahan was named in the High Court as being a senior figure in an international drugs gang.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has urged sporting and media companies not to cover the fight:
