Scott Dixon acquitted of threatening man during boxing match
The champion boxer was acquitted after complaints against him were withdrawn
Champion boxer Scott Dixon has been cleared of charges stemming from an altercation during a boxing match in February.
Scottish national Dixon, Kurt Gatt and Sami Bouslama had been accused of insults and threats.
But all three were acquitted on Tuesday after complaints against them were withdrawn.
The incident occurred at the Eden Arena and reportedly began when Dixon’s girlfriend became involved in a dispute with another woman.
Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech ordered Dixon not to approach an injured party, who withdrew his complaint.
Dixon was recently charged in a separate case involving the alleged submission of fake medical certificates to justify breaches of his bail conditions.
Defence lawyer Franco Debono represented Dixon.
