    It's not automatic.. and I think it only applies to prison.. or what they consider misdemeanour..

    Yes, Hearn talked about this a few months back on IFLTV, they got clarification from the US embassy or whoever that he can travel to or fight in the US

    Felons no.. misdemeanors in the UK yea.. misdemeanors in a country that isn't in a pact with USA.. probably not..

    UK don't generally need a visa to go to the USA.. and they pay tax in only one country.. not charged twice etc..

    Didn't he receive the award for Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) from the Queen?

    Surly that would count towards getting a visa to enter the USA.

    I guess it all depends.. Floyd denied around the world for jail.. Khan denied at the last minute in US for assault and all that..


    Although he intially had a visa or something.. but was denied ultimately..

    I guess jail time or being a Muslim could be a factor lol..

    i watched a you tube video of joshua /the rock /kevin hart/
    i presume this was in america
    albeit joshua has a drug conviction which would be enough to rule most people out from travelling to the usa.

    No, we're building a wall between the UK and the US and Britain will pay for it.

    Money talks... especially in the USA. They'll roll out the red carpet as soon as he makes a fight over there...
