WBA Lightweight Champ Gervonta Davis Faces New Miami Domestic Violence Lawsuit Amid Jake Paul Fight Plans

Gervonta "Tank" Davis faces a new civil lawsuit filed by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel, accusing him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit alleges that on October 27, Davis attacked Rossel at Tootsies Cabaret, a Miami gentlemen's club where she worked, dragging her through various areas before assaulting her in the parking garage. Rossel claims a five-month relationship with Davis marked by multiple incidents of abuse, including threats to kill her on September 2 and September 23, with one public choking incident at a restaurant. This lawsuit follows previous domestic violence allegations against Davis, including a dropped case by another ex-girlfriend and mother of his children. The new allegations come just weeks before Davis' exhibition boxing match against Jake Paul, raising questions about the fight's future. Davis' camp has expressed surprise at the lawsuit, while Rossel reports suffering severe PTSD and seeking medical and therapeutic help due to the abuse.
