Former boxing world champion Joe Cordina has denied assaulting a man outside a petrol station, a court has heard. <\/p>\n
Cordina, 34, was one of two men charged in connection with an incident in the Cardiff suburb of Pentwyn in February.<\/p>\n
He appeared at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault by beating. <\/p>\n
Cordina appeared in the dock alongside Jamie O’Brien, 32, from Pentwyn, who has also been charged with assault in connection with the incident. <\/p>\n
O’Brien did not enter a plea during the short hearing. <\/p>\n
The court previously heard the offences the two men are charged with are alleged to be “against each other”.<\/p>\n
Nadeem Majid, representing Cordina, said the second charge of assault he faces “emanates from one continued incident”.<\/p>\n
District Judge Charlotte Murphy granted Cordina unconditional bail until a trial, which was set for 13 October this year.<\/p>\n
O’Brien’s case was adjourned until 26 August.<\/p>\n
