Boxer Gervonta Davis was reportedly arrested Tuesday in Parkland, Florida on domestic violence charges, according to ESPN.
Davis was reportedly in custody as of Wednesday morning and had his bail set at $1,000, a prison official told ESPN. Details of Davis’s arrest and the allegations against Davis have not been released.
Davis, 28, is a perfect 27-0 as a professional fighter. His next fight is scheduled for January 7, when Davis takes on Hector Luis Garcia as part of a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view event on Showtime. It is unclear whether the alleged arrest will affect that fight.
Davis’ career has been marred by multiple arrests. He was arrested in 2017 for aggravated assault, though those charges were dropped. Davis was also arrested in 2018 for getting into a fight in Washington, DC. In 2020, Davis was arrested for alleged domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend. That case was dropped in December, meaning no punishment was imposed on Davis. That same year, Davis was reportedly involved in a hit-and-run and accused of fleeing the scene. Davis is set to appear in court on February 16, 2023 after a plea deal stemming from the September hit and run arrest was rejected.
