Former boxing world champion Joe Cordina has denied assaulting a man. The 34-year-old appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court and pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault by beating. The alleged incident occurred outside a petrol station in Pentwyn, Cardiff, in February.
Cordina was in court alongside Jamie O'Brien, 32, who is also charged with assault in connection with the same incident. O'Brien, from Pentwyn, did not enter a plea during the hearing. The court had previously been informed that the offences the two men are charged with are alleged to be against each other, with Cordina's legal representative stating that a second charge emanates from one continuous incident.
District Judge Charlotte Murphy granted Cordina unconditional bail. His trial is scheduled to take place on 13 October. O'Brien's case was adjourned until 26 August.
