Gervonta Davis was arrested and hit with a domestic violence battery charge last night in Broward County, Florida. As we reported just a few hours ago, this is abysmal timing for the boxing star, as he has a match scheduled for January 7. This fight is slated to be against Hector Luis Garcia.
Subsequently, Davis has plans to fight Ryan Garcia later this year. However, none of that is actually going to happen if Davis faces harsh consequences for his alleged actions. According to TMZ, the altercation that led to his arrest was severe.
Gervonta Davis Accusations
In files from Florida police, it was revealed that Davis struck a woman. He reportedly closed his fist and slapped the woman across the face. This reportedly led to an injury on the inside of her upper lip. As TMZ notes, this all took place yesterday afternoon in Parkland.
Following the altercation, the unnamed woman left the residence and called the police. Consequently, this led to Davis' arrest. For now, Davis is still behind bars, although it is unknown if and when he will post bail. Needless to say, this is an unfortunate situation all around.
This continues to be a developing story that could have enormous consequences for Davis's upcoming boxing season.
