Arrest warrant issued for Gervonta Davis in October case

According to the police, the incident took place on October 27 at a gentlemen’s club in Miami Gardens where the alleged victim worked. Investigators said Davis entered the venue and later confronted the woman in a back area of ​​the club before an encounter that moved through several parts of the building.

Police allege Davis used physical force to subdue the woman and attempted to remove her from the scene against her will. Authorities said the woman was eventually released and later showed visible bruising on her arm. Investigators said surveillance footage from the club has been reviewed and it supports key elements of the complaint.

A civil lawsuit related to the incident was filed shortly after the alleged encounter. Police said the woman reported that she had been in a brief intimate relationship with Davis earlier in 2025 and that the relationship ended about a month before the incident. She told investigators she blocked all contact after the breakup.

Law enforcement officials said the findings of their investigation were sufficient for prosecutors to seek judicial approval for an arrest warrant, which was granted this week. Miami Gardens police emphasized that allegations of domestic violence are treated as serious offenses and prosecuted accordingly.

The timing of the lawsuit and investigation coincided with Davis’ removal from a planned December game in Miami. That event continued with another headliner after Davis was no longer involved.

Davis has faced several legal issues in recent years, including past allegations of domestic violence and a hit-and-run case in Baltimore that resulted in house arrest and probation. Authorities have not said whether the current warrant puts him in violation of that probation.

For now, the situation puts one of boxing’s most prominent champions back in a familiar position, with legal ramifications once again threatening to overshadow his in-ring career.
