Cracking source you've got there.

You have to declare convictions, same as trying to gain entry to the US. It's in his passport too so if he turned up they'd turn him away if he didn't have a visa.

Criminal convictions aren't in your passport.
And declare feck all, there's no magic database they use in airports to check who has/hasn't got a conviction.

I see. Thanks.

Stupid practice if you ask me. Especially for the Commonwealth realm. Now we do not get a good fight because of bureaucracy.

Perks of having a convicted criminal as your trainer.

Now we don't get a good fight because peter was a drug dealer. Not bureaucracy.

I think we should refuse convicted criminals entry to our country aswell.

Why isn't he going then? Why hasn't he got freedom to enter countries with similar policies?
There is more information in your passport than you are aware of.

Its there country , there laws , same in the states , and i'm not sure but think it applys too Australia .. So it was always going to happen , and why not are they expected to change there policies to cater to the whims of a convicted drug dealer and gangster .

Only thing i find bewildering is if he got 10 years in 2005 , what the eff was he doing out to get another two years in 2008 .. There Laws , there policies , there country , if anything Britain shouild be just has vigilant in who they let in .

I interviewed Peter after the Cunningham fight, and though he was glad Tyson won he said "Never again will my nephew or son ever fight without me there," and I believed him then and still do believe he'll stand by that. I'd be greatly shocked if he turns about face and lets Hughie go there on his own without him there instructing him.

How's Hughie going to fufil his potential as world champion, then? They've already knocked back Joshua (and Wilder, although that was understandable considering the circumstances). Hughie will be waiting a long time to fight AJ should he beat Wlad, so he'll have to travel to fight as he's not really a draw in his home country. Hughie's my favourite of the Fury's so I don't want to see him fail, but I personally think he should get out there and fight Parker. Win or lose, this is a big important fight. Hughie needs this.

He was not just convicted he also served his sentence. He owes nothing to society. That is the whole point of the justice system.

I'm sure he was one of the more kind hearted multimillionaire drug barrons. Probably got to the top by being really nice to people, making everybody laugh and remembering people's birthdays and that. I mean, the ones round my way have people shot and tortured, set them on fire and stuff, but this is up North isn't it? It's like a Hovis advert or something, right?

Friend of mine was refused entry to the US when going to a wedding in Vegas. Hauled in by immigration and told that due to his conviction for dealing LSD 20 years prior he was refused entry, another had the same in Australia for a similar class A offence and he had a visa.

No doubt some people get stopped/refused but it isn't because of anything contained on your passport or because customs/immigration the other end have access to a master database.

He stood in line handed his passport in and was then removed from the line and taken to holding area where he was informed, after about 2 hours, that he was refused entry due to his record and would be returned to his port of origin.

There's blatantly information sharing, whether countries admit it or not.
