New date to be set for Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas felony domestic battery case

LAS VEGAS — Court officials in Las Vegas say an evidence hearing will be postponed again for boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a felony domestic violence case. Court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price said Mayweather isn't expected to appear Thursday while a Las Vegas judge sets a new date. Mayweather is accused of hitting and threatening his ex-girlfriend, stealing her cell phone and threatening two of their children last September. He could face 34 years in state prison if convicted. His lawyers didn't immediately respond to messages. They've denied wrongdoing on his behalf. The case is separate from a misdemeanor battery case alleging the 34-year-old Mayweather poked a homeowner association security guard in the face during a November argument outside his home. A judge on Monday set that case for trial Sept. 1.
