Former boxing world champion Joe Cordina has denied assaulting a man outside a petrol station, a court has heard.
Cordina, 34, was one of two men charged in connection with an incident in the Cardiff suburb of Pentwyn in February.
He appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault by beating.
Cordina appeared in the dock alongside Jamie O'Brien, 32, from Pentwyn, who has also been charged with assault in connection with the incident.
O'Brien did not enter a plea during the short hearing.
The court previously heard the offences the two men are charged with are alleged to be "against each other".
Nadeem Majid, representing Cordina, said the second charge of assault he faces "emanates from one continued incident".
District Judge Charlotte Murphy granted Cordina unconditional bail until a trial, which was set for 13 October this year.
O'Brien's case was adjourned until 26 August.
Cordina is a former super-featherweight world champion and was due to fight for the WBO lightweight title in the United States on July 4.
However, he revealed in a social media post that his application for a US visa was refused.
