Ex-boxer David Haye has been cleared of assault after a judge found he had no case to answer.
The former world heavyweight champion, 41, was on trial accused of assaulting Nickesh Jhala at a comedy show at the Hammersmith Apollo in October last year. Mr Jhala alleged at Westminster Magistrates’ Court that Haye “grabbed him round the throat” and said “Say one more word and I will kill you".
But the trial collapsed after senior district judge Paul Goldspring, the Chief Magistrate for England and Wales, ruled there was no case to answer following the end of the prosecution case this afternoon.
