    Bradley Pryce didn't even get close to having a visa issued when he was due to fight on the Calzaghe undercard. He got a few drunk & disorderly cautions on his record, many years before trying to get his work visa. Not easy to get a work visa in the US with any kind of criminal record.

    They should just finish the camp in Vancouver now with only just over a week left till end camp. By that time they can sort the visa out and fly straight from Vancouver to New York a week before fight night or even sooner.

    Kinda suprising considering how many criminals they have there already, wouldn't think a few more would make much difference.

    What surprises me is that he must not have declared anything on his forms of entry originally to say he has driving convictions.

    Why would it have something to do with his name? Its more likly to be to do with the fact that he crippled an old man, smashed into a cyclist, was caught speeding at over 120MPH and has been involved with various sexual abuse claims.
