Gervonta Davis was arrested in Florida after police said he assaulted his ex-girlfriend during a custody argument.
Gervonta Davis was arrested early Friday in Doral, Florida, after police say the lightweight boxing champion assaulted his ex-girlfriend during a heated custody dispute last month on Father’s Day.
On June 15, Davis went to the woman’s house to get the two children he shares with her. A dispute arose, and the boxer said he was no longer interested in taking the children.
According to the arrest report, Davis allegedly punched the woman in the head and slapped her in the face when she reached into his car to pick up their daughter.
The woman called her mother, who recorded Gervonta Davis raging and throwing a box at the victim.
The cops picked Davis up for the assault and sent him to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he is currently being held on a battery charge.
This isn’t the first time Davis has been in legal trouble related to alleged violence.
In 2020, he was busted on video grabbing the mother of his child by the neck at a charity basketball game in at the University of Miami. He later turned himself in and faced a misdemeanor battery charge.
