Boxing Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis Apprehended in Miami Following Warrant
Miami, FL – The search for boxing sensation Gervonta “Tank” Davis concluded Wednesday as a fugitive task force took him into custody in Miami’s Design District. The arrest comes two weeks after a warrant was issued for his apprehension, according to a social media post by Miami Gardens police.
The charges against Davis reportedly stem from an incident on October 27, 2025, at a Miami Gardens establishment. His ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, has filed a civil suit in Miami, alleging that Davis assaulted her at her workplace earlier this week.
Rossel claims that Davis entered the gentlemen’s club where she works as a VIP cocktail server and attacked her in a back room, which reportedly lacked surveillance cameras. She further alleges that Davis dragged her through a stairwell, kitchen, and back exit before assaulting her in a parking garage.
Rossel, who was in a five-month relationship with Davis, also claims multiple prior assaults, stating Davis has “physically assaulted and choked” her “at least” four times. She additionally accused Davis of twice threatening her life in writing in September.
Representatives for Davis have not yet responded to requests for comment.
This incident led to the cancellation of a highly anticipated November fight between Davis and Jake Paul. Following the cancellation, Paul vehemently criticized Davis on his Instagram Stories, calling him “an actual walking human piece of garbage.”
Paul expressed his unwillingness to provide “this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account,” citing Davis’s alleged unprofessionalism, bizarre requests, numerous arrests, and related accusations. He lamented the situation, especially for the undercard fighters and his team who had diligently prepared for the bout.
Davis, 31, has a history of legal troubles in South Florida. Last summer, he was arrested on domestic violence charges that were later dropped.
In June 2023, he was placed under house arrest after pleading guilty to a November 2020 hit-and-run crash that injured four people. He later violated the terms of his sentence and served the remainder in jail.
Davis has also faced at least two other assault charges against women, one of which occurred less than two weeks before his fight against Hector Luis Garcia. That fight proceeded as scheduled, with Davis winning via referee technical decision in the ninth round.
Davis, the current WBA lightweight champion, holds a professional record of 30-0-1, with his most recent fight being a draw against Lamont Roach Jr.
