Gervonta “Tank” Davis Taken Into Custody
The search for boxing champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis has concluded. Authorities apprehended him in Miami’s Design District on Wednesday, which came two weeks after an arrest warrant was issued, according to a post from Miami Gardens police.
The charges relate to an incident that reportedly occurred on October 27, 2025, at a business in Miami Gardens. Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossell, filed a civil lawsuit earlier this week, claiming he punched her at her workplace.
In her lawsuit, Rossell alleged that Davis had broken into the men’s club where she worked as a cocktail server and attacked her in a location without cameras. She stated that he dragged her into various areas, including a stairwell and a parking lot, where further assaults took place.
Rossell, who had a five-month relationship with Davis prior to the incident, claimed that he had physically assaulted her multiple times, stating he “physically assaulted and strangled” her on at least four occasions. She also mentioned that he threatened to kill her in writing twice in September.
So far, Davis’ representatives have not provided any comments regarding these allegations.
The boxer was supposed to face Jake Paul in a match scheduled for November, but that bout was canceled following the filing of the lawsuit against him. Paul later criticized Davis on social media, calling him “actual walking human trash.”
In a recent Instagram post, Paul detailed his frustrations about working with Davis: “Working with him is an absolute nightmare. Unprofessionalism, bizarre demands… To support this man is to support the most despicable crime a man can commit. I’m so sorry to everyone involved,” he wrote, apologizing to the team that had prepared for the bout.
Davis, 31, has had a history of legal troubles in South Florida. He faced domestic violence charges last summer, though those were later dropped. Last June, he was placed on house arrest after pleading guilty to a hit-and-run incident from November 2020, which resulted in injuries to four individuals. He subsequently violated the terms of his sentence and served additional time.
He has had at least two other charges related to assaulting women. One of these incidents happened just two weeks before he fought Hector Luis Garcia, which he won by technical knockout in the ninth round.
Currently, Davis holds the title of WBA lightweight champion and has a record of 30-0-1, with his most recent fight ending in a draw against Lamont Roach Jr.
