KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 — Malaysian Boxing Federation (MBF) president Datuk Mohamad Iruan Zulkefli has denied allegations that have gone viral on social media linking him to the issue of asking for money or abusing power.

Mohamad Iruan described the allegations as untrue, baseless and slanderous which could affect his reputation and integrity.

“I have lodged a police report at the Nilai police station today and have handed over the matter to the relevant parties for further action,” he said in a statement yesterday. 

He also announced that he would hold a press conference tomorrow to provide a detailed explanation and clarify the truth regarding the issue.
