From what I understand with a good legal team minor convictions can be overcome.
For the average Joe, any declaration of prior convictions means being sent straight home, never to return.
I have to lie every time I go to the states on the boarding card, because of a fine and caution I got 23 years ago!
I think if you have priors or any police record should apply for a visa waiver before travelling. It involves a bit of paperwork and a trip to the US embassy in London for an appointment (or used to a few years ago). They then check your record and decide whether or not to let you go over there. I think most people are allowed in, but you just need to plan ahead. If you turn up at the airport and they run checks and find you out, that's when you will get turned away.
Joshua should be fine to travel/box to the USA, as long as they don't leave it till the last minute to apply. I think that happened to a Brit boxer fairlyt recently, although can't recall who it was!

Calzaghe-Lacy and Hatton-Tszyu were very late, although I'm not sure exactly how late.
I'm sure Hatton was around 2am. I remember having to watch it again the following day because I was pie eyed by the time it came on!
I don't remember Calzaghe-Lacy being quite as late as the Hatton fight, but it was certainly later than usual. The Froch-Dirrell fight felt the latest to me, probably because the undercard finished about 3 fvcking hours earlier.

Same, I was completely tanked on JD that night as well, could hardly stay awake for the main event, should have just gone to sleep really!
