English professional boxer, Anthony Joshua, has revealed that his previous criminal records continue to haunt him.
Joshua said this in a series of Snapchat videos he posted on Saturday, recounting his experience at an American airport.
He said, “You can’t run away from your past, everytime I step into the US, they call me into the US customs or border protection. Luckily, some things on my criminal record aren’t too severe and they don’t stop me from actually entering the US.
Citing his experience, he advised younger folks to avoid any criminal record that can cause “problems” especially when they intend going the United States.
“But every time I enter the US, they call me in for questioning and it’s tedious and it’s time-consuming. So young kids I’m just saying, while you may be coming up, whatever you may be doing, even if it’s getting into a fight outside the club because you’re drunk. Anything on your criminal record can cause you problems when trying to travel to the USA, so keep your record clean. Stay clean, stay out of trouble,” he added.
