Gervonta Davis is reportedly wanted by authorities after a judge determined he violated the terms of his probation stemming from a previous hit-and-run conviction.
According to reports, Baltimore Circuit Judge Althea M. Handy issued an arrest warrant for Davis on April 24 connected to allegations that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend at a nightclub in Florida last year.
The warrant stems from accusations made by Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, who filed a civil lawsuit in Miami-Dade County on October 30. Rossel alleges the incident occurred October 27 at Tootsie’s Cabaret, where she worked as a VIP cocktail server.
According to the lawsuit, Rossel claims Davis:
- Grabbed her by the head and throat
- Forced her out of the nightclub against her will
- Dragged her into a parking garage
- Physically assaulted her
The lawsuit includes allegations of:
- Aggravated battery
- False imprisonment
- Kidnapping
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
Judge Ruled Allegations Violated Probation
The alleged incident reportedly violated Davis’ probation tied to his 2020 hit-and-run case.
Gervonta Davis previously received:
- 90 days of house arrest
- Three years probation
- 200 hours of community service
after pleading guilty in 2023.
He later served nearly six weeks in jail after violating home detention terms. Judge Handy initially issued an arrest warrant in February before temporarily recalling it after Davis’ attorneys reportedly promised cooperation. A second warrant was later issued on April 24, and defense efforts to challenge it were reportedly denied May 22.
Davis was already arrested earlier this year by the Miami Gardens Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force after another warrant was issued on January 14 related to the allegations.
Following that arrest:
- Davis posted an $8,500 bond
- He was ordered to have no contact with Rossel
The latest warrant now escalates the situation further.
Boxing Career Now Clouded By Legal Issues
The legal situation adds more uncertainty around one of boxing’s biggest stars. Gervonta Davis last fought to a majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. in March.
Davis was also expected to face Jake Paul in a blockbuster crossover event before the matchup reportedly collapsed following the surfacing of Rossel’s allegations.
At 30-0-1 with 28 knockouts, Davis remains one of boxing’s premier attractions but his future inside and outside the ring now faces serious questions once again.
