- A Sunday World news journalist broke news of the alleged ban on Twitter
- Other associates of mob boss Daniel Kinahan are also said to have been barred

Tyson Fury has been refused access to the US over his alleged links to crime boss Daniel Kinahan, it emerged tonight.
The British boxer, 33, was in Liverpool tonight watching the Vacant IBF International Heavyweight Championship fight between Nathan Gorman and Thomas Salek at M&S Bank Arena.
It is not known on what day this is thought to have happened. MailOnline has contacted Fury’s representatives for comment.
Addressing claims that Irish boxing promoter Kinahan runs a global organised crime group, Fury previously said: ‘That’s none of my business and I don’t interfere with anybody else’s business.’
Fury, who was photographed in Dubai in February this year with the now US sanctioned Kinahan, said: ‘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.’
