Boxer Steve Colllins is on trial this week for allegedly assaulting a bouncer. The incident occurred at the National Boxing Stadium in 2006 at an event in which Richard Dunne was appearing.

The court has heard the testimony of security man Adriatik Voda, who claims that the attack occurred when Steve Collins approached the VIP entrance of the boxing arena that night.

Voda claims that Collins arrived at the stadium without a ticket. As instructed, Voda refused entry to Collins as he did not have his ticket for the event. It has been reported that Collins then suffered an acute attack of amnesia and forgot his own name, repeatedly asking Voda “do you know my name?”

Voda then allegedly radioed through to his boss saying “Jimmy, can you get down here please? There’s a man at the VIP entrance who doesn’t know his own name”.

Collins, becoming increasingly agitated at his sudden bout of fugue, then lashed out at Voda, catching him under the chin with a cheap uppercut and dislodging two of his teeth.

In the resulting fracas, Collins was whisked away in a straitjacket by the men in white coats to Ardee mental hospital for further treatment.

The Sentinel has received a leaked report stating that, despite 2 years of extensive therapy, Mr. Collins still cannot remember his own name and may not be fit to continue trial.
