Gervonta Davis is once again in trouble with the law. After having been arrested numerous times for a variety of reasons the thirty year old lightweight titlist was busted by police on a battery charge on Thursday in Miami Beach. Davis has been in trouble before for violence against women. His’ arrest on Thursday stemmed from a report that the undefeated fighter had assaulted his ex-girlfriend on, ironically enough, Father’s Day. Suffice to say, Davis’ high profile rematch with Lamont Roach reportedly may now be a no go, as it’s scheduled for August.
Per WPLG Local 10: “Police said Davis went to the victim’s home to pick up their children for Father’s Day, but a verbal altercation between him and the victim ensued, which escalated to a physical altercation.” Local 10 continues: “According to the report, Davis told his ex-girlfriend to remove their children from his car as he no longer intended to take them, but when she leaned forward to retrieve their daughter from the backseat, Davis struck her in the back of the head and then slapped her in the face, causing a minor cut to the inner area of her lip.”
There is reportedly a video of some of the incident in question.
