Miami police have issued an arrest warrant for Gervonta Davis, the current WBA lightweight champion, on charges of false imprisonment, battery, and attempted kidnapping. According to authorities, these allegations stem from a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossell.
Davis' involvement in the alleged incident is thought to involve the use of force to restrain and remove Rossell against her will, according to the investigation. The Miami Gardens Police Department claims to be working closely with the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force to track down Davis and bring him to justice.
The news comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by Rossell in October, which alleged domestic abuse from Davis. This has also been linked to the recent cancellation of his scheduled fight against YouTuber Jake Paul on November 14, following claims of domestic abuse allegations surrounding Davis' behavior.
With an impressive record of 30 undefeated fights, Davis had held the WBA lightweight title since 2023, but this latest development raises serious questions about his personal life and behavior outside of the ring.
