Star boxer Gervonta Davis arrested on domestic violence charge
Boxing - Gervonta Davis v Francisco Fonseca - IBF World Super Featherweight Title - Las Vegas, USA - August 26, 2017 Gervonta Davis during the fight. WBA lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis was arrested in Miami Beach on Friday morning on misdemeanor domestic violence charges.
The arrest stems from a dispute about a month ago, when Davis, 30, allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, outside of her home in Doral, Fla.
In an incident report from the Doral Police Department, Davis' ex-girlfriend says she was having a verbal dispute with him about "personal matters and Gervonta having insecurities about the sexuality of their son."
Davis arrived in Doral to pick up his children at around 5 p.m. The dispute then escalated after both children were in Davis' car, and Davis allegedly punched his ex-girlfriend "on the rear of her head with a closed fist" and slapped her in the face.
She regained custody of her children and went to a local hospital for treatment. The Doral Police Department report includes a note that suggests there have been "approximately 10" undocumented physical altercations between Davis and his ex-girlfriend in the past.
Davis was being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami on $10,000 bond, but has since been released, according to Miami-Dade County's inmate report. The boxer has a court hearing scheduled for July 29.
This isn't Davis' first encounter with the law in recent years.
He was charged with simple battery domestic violence in February 2020 and served a 90-day house arrest sentence in 2023 due to a criminal hit-and-run case that occurred in Baltimore in November 2020.
