Gervonta Davis is facing new legal issues.
The celebrated boxer was arrested on Thursday in Miami due to battery charges linked to an incident on June 15th.
The WBA lightweight champion reportedly went to his ex-partner’s residence, where a disagreement escalated to a physical confrontation.
As per a police report obtained by WPLG Local 10, Davis claimed that the victim was trying to take their child from his car, indicating he had no plans to pick them up anymore.
When the victim leaned against the vehicle, Davis allegedly struck her in the back of the head and slapped her, resulting in a cut on her inner lip.
He was released on a $10,000 bail.
Davis and the woman had been in a four-year relationship and share two children.
On the night of the incident, Davis was reportedly at the victim’s home to pick up his kids for Father’s Day.
Following the altercation, the victim called for assistance from her mother.
The mother allegedly witnessed her daughter crying after the incident involving Davis.
She also is said to have recorded part of the argument, during which Davis threw a small box at the victim.
When taken to the police station, Davis reportedly refused to complete a Miranda warning.
Davis has a history of legal issues that go back to 2019. In this latest situation, he is alleged to have struck the woman with a “closed hand-type slap.”
The charge was later withdrawn.
Per Boxleck, Davis is currently the top-ranked lightweight boxer with a professional record of 30 wins, no losses, and one draw.
His most recent fight was a popular matchup against Lamon Roach Jr. at the Barclays Center in March 2025, where he managed to secure the only draw of his career despite a dominant performance.
The decision by Judge Steve Willis not to award Roach a point in the ninth round ultimately affected the fight’s outcome.
