Floyd Mayweather Jr. Misdemeanor Trial Delayed
Undefeated welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s trial regarding a misdemeanor battery charge has been postponed until April 25, after a judge agreed Thursday to delay the court date.
The misdemeanor occurred near Mayweather’s home, when the former WBC super welterweight champion poked a homeowner’s association security guard in the face during an altercation in November. The scuffle stemmed from an argument over parking tickets issued to vehicles in the private neighborhood.
With the 33-year old fighter absent from the hearing, Mayweather’s lawyers spoke on his behalf, denying any wrongdoing.
The case is unrelated to Mayweather’s felony domestic violence case, which if convicted on all accounts, could place him in prison for 34 years.
On March 10, Mayweather will face an evidence hearing on charges filed by girlfriend Josie Harris, who claims the fighter struck and threatened her, stole her telephone and proceeded to threaten two of their children last September.
Since 2006, “Money” (41-0, 25 Kos) has faced a veritable whose who in boxing, with victories over Zab Judah, Carlos Manuel Baldomir, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez. Most recently, Mayweather defeated Shane Mosley by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev. last May.
