Gervonta Davis Faces Civil Lawsuit for Alleged Strip Club Assault Before Jake Paul Fight

Gervonta "Tank" Davis faces a civil lawsuit alleging a violent attack on his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, at Tootsie's Cabaret, a Miami strip club, shortly before his exhibition fight against Jake Paul. The complaint accuses Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, detailing that he dragged Rossel through various parts of the club and assaulted her in a parking garage. Rossel claims the two were intimately involved for five months before the incident and alleges multiple prior assaults and written death threats from Davis. Davis' trainer, Calvin Ford, dismissed the lawsuit as "nonsense" and expressed confusion about its origins. This lawsuit adds to a history of legal issues for Davis, including previous domestic violence allegations and arrests, with some victims recanting or not cooperating with authorities. The upcoming bout against Jake Paul remains scheduled despite these ongoing legal controversies.
