Former boxing world champion Joe Cordina, 34, denies assaulting another man, a court hears. According to reports, Cordina is charged in connection with an incident outside a petrol station in February. In court, he pleads not guilty to the assault charges and maintains that he did not assault the other person involved in the alleged incident. The proceedings focus on the allegations and whether the case against him can be proven. Reports describe that the matter is connected to an episode that took place outside the petrol station rather than during a sporting event. Cordina’s defence is that he did not carry out the assault, while the charge relates to the alleged behaviour of Cordina during the February incident. The court considers the case as it moves through the legal process. No verdict is reported in the provided accounts, and the reporting indicates the matter is ongoing.
