Former three-weight champion Gervonta Davis has been arrested after a two-week search.

The arrest warrant was issued on January 14. Courtney Rossel, the ex-girlfriend of Davis, alleges that Davis attacked and restrained her at the club where she worked.

The Miami Gardens Police Department worked with the United States Marshals to find Davis. The two departments searched three different counties looking for Davis. It’s unclear how he was able to evade custody for two weeks. He was arrested on January 28 without incident. He was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center later that night.  

According to Rossel, the two met in 2022 and dated for five months in 2025. She did not have communication with Davis after their relationship ended. The alleged attack happened on October 27. 

Rossel filed a criminal complaint with the Miami Gardens Police Department along with a separate civil lawsuit. Davis is charged with battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping.

Davis was confirmed to be in Miami at the time of the alleged attack. He was training to fight Jake Paul at the Kaseya Center.

Davis was replaced on the ticket by Anthony Joshua due to Davis’ name being involved in a lawsuit we now know is related to this incident. Rossel’s legal team attempted to serve Davis with lawsuits for months without success.  Joshua defeated Paul in six rounds on Dec. 19. Davis last fought in March, where he held Lamont Roach Jr. to a draw.

In 2023, Davis was sentenced to three years of probation and a 90-day house arrest following a hit-and-run case in Baltimore. He was still under this probation at the time of the alleged attack. It’s unclear how his alleged actions in Miami could impact his probation status in Maryland, and there likely won’t be an answer unless Davis is found guilty. 

Jake Paul will fight professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis in November, with the event being broadcasted by Netflix.

The fight will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta later this year, with Netflix once again hosting the event like last year’s fight between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and Mike Tyson. The fight was widely criticized due to Tyson’s advance age.

Paul has also been accused of “rigging” his fights, and he has recently threatened to take legal action against his accusers.

Paul has already taken shots at Davis on his X account.

“Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long,” he wrote on Wednesday. “His nickname might be Tank, but I’m a FPV drone and I’m about to disable tiny boy.”

Davis is yet to taste defeat in his professional boxing career, boasting a 30-0-1 record since 2013. His last fight ended in a draw with Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1 in New York City.

A scheduled rematch against Roach in August was canceled after being arrested a month earlier on charges of misdemeanor battery. According to Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation records, an argument erupted when Davis arrived at his ex-girlfriend’s house on Father’s Day to pick up their children. The argument between to two turned physical, according to the report.

The case was dropped on Aug. 12 after his ex-girlfriend refrained from prosecuting.

November’s fight will be Paul’s first time back in the ring since defeating Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision at the end of June. The 28-year-old holds a 12-1 record in professional boxing, winning seven times by knockout.

‘Tank” has been in the headlines quite often recently.

Boxer Gervonta Davis had a seventh-round TKO victory over Ryan Garcia in the biggest fight of his career last month only then to be sentenced to three years probation and 200 hours of community service two weeks after.

The 28-year-old will be behind bars for a hit-and-run crash after violating the rules of his home detention. This sentence will be served for 90 days, as he was supposed to spend it at trainer Calvin Ford‘s house after pleading guilty last month to four counts stemming from a November 2020 crash that injured four people, including a pregnant woman.

Instead of spending his sentence at Ford’s house, “Tank” spent it at a Four Seasons Hotel and a penthouse condo that he bought in Silo Point, Baltimore. This was done without permission, as the Maryland state’s attorney’s office confirmed.

Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Althea Handy, who presided over Davis’s case, did not give permission for either move and as a result ordered Davis to serve out the remainder of his three-month sentence at the city’s jail in Baltimore, Maryland.

His former attorney, Michael Tomko, indicated that the address his client gave at sentencing for serving his home detention was too small for the boxer and his security detail, state’s attorney’s office spokesperson Emily Witty said in a statement.

However, Davis hired a new attorney, Andrew Graham, who filed an emergency motion seeking his release, stating the boxing champion did not intend to disobey a judge with the move.

This dispute comes a few days after his Florida mansion was robbed, as Tomko wrote that personal belongings including “prized boxing regalia” and “several collector automobiles” were stolen from his client’s home in Parkland, Florida. Broward County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the robbery that happened on June 2, alongside the “possible existence of other threats” to Davis.

Until the sentence is served, the “face of boxing” with a 29-0 boxing record with 27 knockouts will not be able to get back into the ring and capitalize on his win against Garcia in the lightweight match that was in Las Vegas in April.

Baltimore native lightweight WBA Boxing Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was charged on Saturday with battery of his ex-girlfriend at a charity basketball event in Miami.

Davis surrendered to the police on Tuesday when a video of the incident hit social media over the weekend. The video shows the boxer assaulting his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his child. He aggressively approaches his ex-girlfriend and forcefully grabs her by the neck and shirt. Then he leads her out of the arena. The women, who was not identified, had suffered a bruised lip and jaw.

The undefeated southpaw was charged with simple battery and domestic violence. The investigators were alerted by social media and the ex-girlfriend. Then they filed the charges after viewing the 14 second video. They met with the victim and Davis after the fact.  On Sunday, the boxer posted on his Instagram, “Yes I was aggressive with her and  I did not hit her.” Davis continued, “That’s mother of my child, I would never hurt her.” The post has been deleted by Davis.

This is not the champ’s first run in with the law. Back in March 2019, he was accused of assaulting a man in a Virginia mall after a confrontation between the two. Davis also had a misdemeanor second-degree assault charge against him, which was dropped in November 2017.

The 25-year-old has a 23-0 record, with 22 knockouts. Davis won the World Boxing Association light weight title on December 29 against Yuriorkis Gamboa with a 12-round knockout in Atlanta. The two-time weight world champion has been compared to former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson based on his way with fans and his unmatched punching power.
