Domestic violence charge against Gervonta Davis in South Florida unexpectedly dismissed
Professional boxer Gervonta "Tank" Davis, known for his impressive win-loss record of 30-0 with 28 knockouts, has been cleared of a domestic battery charge in South Florida[2][4][5]. The misdemeanor battery case was dropped on Tuesday, following an incident on Father's Day involving his ex-girlfriend during a custody exchange[1].
The incident occurred on July 11, when Davis was picked up shortly after midnight near the popular Lincoln Road area of Miami Beach[3]. According to a police report, the mother of Davis's two children claimed that he struck the back of her head and slapped her during an argument while she was taking one of their children out of his car[4].
The charge against Davis was initially reported in June by his former domestic partner in Doral, a residential city in western Miami-Dade[5]. His vehicle was flagged by a license plate reader set up in Miami Beach, leading to his arrest[3]. The initial stop was made by Miami Beach police, who then turned Davis over to Doral police[2].
The state decided not to pursue the case, leading to the dismissal of charges[4]. The online docket for Miami-Dade County's clerk of court shows that the case has been closed[3]. Davis's devastating punching power has drawn sellout crowds from cities such as New York, Washington, and Las Vegas[6]. As one of the best pound-for-pound boxers, Davis hails from Baltimore[2].
