World champion boxer Tyson Cave will go to trial next spring on charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon related to an alleged bar fight in Lower Sackville, N.S., on New Year's Day 2014.

Cave was scheduled to go to trial last spring, but the court agreed to postpone it so he could make a mandatory defence of his World Boxing Union super bantamweight title.

The trial is now scheduled to begin at the end of April in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax and to run for five days.
