    Lol. Seriously?

        I know Martin Murray cannot fight in USA due to a conviction of his a while ago and had to cancel a fight with Chavez Jr because of it.
        As I undrtstand it, ultimately if it became an issue he could apply for a Waiver of Inadmissibility on the grounds that he doesn't pose a threat and has been 'rehabilitated'. The fact that he's been deemed fit to receive an MBE should work in his favour.

                Yep. Eddie Hearn seemed to be somewhat shocked when he found out. Joshua was doing it if his own accord. Smart move from the big man.

                    Yes. He was caught with 8oz and charged with possession of a class B substance with intent to supply. He pleading guilty I believe and was given a 12 month community order with 100 hours unpaid work.

                    Do you think it'll be an issue?

                        Joshua was a drug dealing thug, but respect to him for turning his life around.

                            Worth pointing out that Martin Murray's conviction was for assault and robbery, so a bit worse than Joshua's 8oz of weed lol

                            Should be fine surely?

                                I'd say so. It was a single crime that he was convicted for over 5 years ago and he didn't receive a custodial sentence.

                                    Joshua was a bing dealer as well. Luckily for him, he didn't get caught.
