Moment ex-boxing world champ ‘punches man to ground in petrol station brawl’ before claiming he was ‘acting on instinct’

THIS is the moment a former boxing world champion allegedly punched a man to the ground in a row at a petrol station, a court heard. Two-time IBF super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina is accused of assaulting Jamie O’Brien outside Pentwyn Service Station in Wales in February. Cardiff Magistrates’ Court heard Cordina had been filling up his Land Rover when he was shouted at by O’Brien to “beckon him over”. CCTV footage played to the court showed O’Brien then push Cordina using his shoulder, before Cordina “punched him with sufficient force to knock him to the ground”.
