Martin Murray losing his shot to Chavez jnr...

[Tam Seddon]

What did he actually do to not be allowed to fight him? Thought that would have been a great fight personally. Who are they both going to fight now??

[rosco1984]

It's something to do with murray not being allowed a visa because ov his criminal record.must ov been in trouble before he got into boxing. Any1 what he's done?

Martin Murray's criminal record comes back to haunt him | BoxRecNews

A bit more info here.

[Beanz]

What a shame. Pointless to punish someone again for something in his past, when he has clearly turned his life around and is now a great example of how boxing can positively change people. It is not like he killed someone or is going to pose any kind of threat to the well being of American Citizens. Hopefully there is some kind of appeal process that will allow common sense to prevail.

It is the law that if you have a criminal record you are not allowed into the USA.
That goes for anyone applying for a visa.
It does not matter what the offence was , those are the rules.

Strange over here we let Tyson in a convicted criminal, so it's ok to export but not to import.

[Master]

We allowed Tyson in, they should allow Murray in as well as Kevin Mitchell.

Yes Al but what is it they say over there land of the free, very hypercritical you must say they don't
mind exporting there shit but no import, rules to suit my friend.

[Master]

They also like to extradite our innocent civilians and treat them as criminals even before trial but hate to send any of theirs like the soldier who innocently killed the Afghanian children and families.

[shza]

Hmm, I guess he has to fight Martinez now.

But when a country is in the shit, we are the international 911, as we like to say here, the US the worst country in the world, except for all the other.

Its ridiculous. The guy did his time and paid his dues and is now a completely different guy. Not only that he got in shit for fighting a doorman/bouncer who are hired thugs that start half the shit at pubs. This stuff should be viewed on a case by case basis and not some broad brush. If Martin Murray was a household name we would not even be having this conversation.

I agree, especially with that last sentence.
