    He was only selling a small amount of weed it's not like he was pushing crack to 10 year old's outside schools or peddling smack to addicts. The fact he got no custodial sentence shows he clearly wasn't a career criminal, most people can commit at least 4/5 petty crimes before being jailed so why should he be treated differently. If anything the way he has turned his life around will be inspiring to kids stuck in that type of environment where selling drugs is common place.

    It was his shock about the shame felt by family, friends and those within his sport that convinced him to change his ways, he admitted. ‘I could have seen it as a badge of honour,’ he said earlier this year.


    ‘I could have taken the rap, seen it as a slap on the wrist and done it again. But I didn’t. It wasn’t so much the actual charge that had the effect. It was all the grief afterwards, from my friends, from my family – especially my mum – and from boxing.


    ‘I was just like a lot of young lads. It was all about how I looked, my clothes, clubbing, girls. I wasn’t with the best group of people.


    ‘The arrest changed a lot. It forced me to grow up and to respect my responsibilities.


    ‘I’m not happy that I did what I did and there’s no way that kind of thing will ever happen again, but in a way I’m glad it did because it woke me up.


    ‘I go running on Saturday nights now, not clubbing. I understand that if I’m to fulfil my potential then it’s all about hard work. It took me a while to realise this, but since last March I’ve never looked back. And you know what? I’m so much happier as a person, too.’

    WHAT A SCUMBAG:patsch

    Hes young and from what I've heard in the gym is a top guy. Selling weed is one of the most harmless crimes I can imagine, who really gives a ****.

    Sometimes don't understand this place.. Dillian Whyte gets roasted for taking a legal pre-workout supplement yet Anthony Joshua gets a pass for selling an illegal drug and being caught.

    not legal according to wada, whyte used a PED (how effective it is is another issue) Joshua sold a few ten bags, this was hardly giving him an unfair sporting edge

    Still a criminal my friend. And a convicted one at that. How many people do you see supporting Scott Harrison? (bar ridiculous jocks) very different crimes I know but still both are criminals.
