Trial has been postponed to Oct. 25 for boxing trainer Roger Mayweather on felony charges that he attacked a female boxer at a Las Vegas apartment.
The 48-year-old Mayweather is the uncle and trainer of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Defense attorney Jack Buchanan said Friday that Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair cited a scheduling conflict in delaying trial. It had been set to begin Monday.
Roger Mayweather has pleaded not guilty to battery charges stemming from a scuffle last August with 26-year-old Melissa St. Vil.
St. Vil testified in January that Mayweather punched and choked her nearly to unconsciousness before police arrived at an apartment Mayweather rented to another man.
The charges carry the possibility of up to 10 years in prison. Mayweather remains free on $13,000 bail.
