"MTK Global will take every measure to ensure the company, and those who deal with it are fully compliant with the US sanctions announced this week and take this matter extremely seriously."
The US government announced it is offering $5 million for information on the Kinahan crime gang or for the arrest and conviction of its leaders.
The US government department imposed sanctions against seven senior members of the Kinahan crime gang as part of a bid to target their financial operations.
US ambassador to Ireland Claire Cronin told an event at Dublin City Hall that the US department of the treasury is offering a reward of $5 million/€4.6 million for information that will lead to the "financial destruction" of the Kinahan crime gang or the arrest and conviction of its leaders.
While Garda Commissioner Drew Harris warned senior gang members that they can run but "can't hide from justice forever", adding that they will eventually run out of money.
Among those sanctioned by the US department of the treasury's office of foreign assets control (OFAC) were its key members, including leaders Christy Kinahan Snr, Daniel Kinahan and Christy Kinahan Jnr.
Kinahan founded MTK alongside former professional boxer Matthew Macklin in 2012.
The company has high profile fighters like Tyson Fury and Micheal Conlan on its roster.
