WBA Lightweight Champ Gervonta Davis Arrested Domestic Battery Florida

Gervonta "Tank" Davis, the WBA lightweight champion, was arrested in Miami Beach on a misdemeanor battery charge related to a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend on Father's Day, June 15. The incident occurred when Davis arrived at the woman's home to pick up their two children, leading to a verbal argument that escalated into physical violence, including Davis allegedly striking her on the back of the head, slapping her face, and throwing a box at her. The ex-girlfriend sustained a cut on her lip and reported the assault to police, who issued a probable cause for Davis’ arrest. After being taken into custody, Davis refused to sign a Miranda warning form. This is not Davis’ first interaction with law enforcement involving domestic violence allegations, with prior arrests reported in 2020 and 2022. Davis remains a prominent figure in boxing, undefeated in 30 bouts with his most recent fight ending in a draw.
