    Josh Taylor

    Next fight will be announced tomorrow for 2nd May and will be in Scotland according to Frank Warren, always said he wants to fight at Easter Road and with new top rank deal this might be last chance?

    There’s still two rounds of League fixtures after that weekend, so it’s not at ER

    Josh's recent criminal conviction might harm his ability to travel to and work in America. I've no doubt his promoters will be able to assist him with it but possibly not this quickly which will have helped their decision to keep this fight in the UK.

    It won't, worse case scenario he has to go to the consulate in Belfast before being granted a visa.

    Is it that easy to get a visa with a criminal record for the US? Also it's not a standard tourist visa - he'd need a work visa.

    More likely for one of his fights against a bigger name once he moves up to 147lbs. Mikey Garcia & Terence Crawford have both expressed an interest in squaring off against Josh at welterweight in the past week.

    Hydro most likely for this mandatory, with the unification against Ramirez most likely to be a US fight

    Yeah, there is a specific list, it usually gets relevant in most cases when you've been jailed. It's based on the US judicial system rather than ours. The worst thing you can do is lie on your ESTA. They don't like that.

    Think it would be great to have a fight at ER but it would undoubtedly wreck the pitch. So I can’t really see it happening unless it was right after the last home game of the season.

    Roughly 6000 more at the Hydro. That's a hell of a lot of gate receipts difference.

    Frank Warren is promoting it, his shows are poor compared to Matchroom.

    It’s the Hydro. 2 months too early for the Castle. The stands aren’t finished until July.......and capacity would be way too low. Wrestling event at the Hydro the following night.

    He'll be fine.

    Amir Khan once tried to enter the US without declaring a conviction (driving related). He had to detour to Canada for a day or 2 then was let in.

    Whether a guy going for a 2 week break to Florida who made the same 'mistake' would have been treated similarly is for others to decide.

    I meant his boxing shows, crap stewarding, inflated bar prices etc. Nothing to do with Fury etc.

    Probably. Regular Music do the castle concerts and I’d be surprised if they were promoting a boxing match.

    Usually if you have a record you will need to provide specific information at an interview at a US embassy or consulate.

    As you say Khan got round it by a quick detour and IIRC Joshua has a drug conviction and fought at MSG. I am sure that many football players who have been on tour with DD and other convictions have been allowed.

    It does help if you are a famous sports person I suppose!!
