US EditionBoxer Gervonta Davis Arrested on Attempted Kidnapping and Battery Charges
Gervonta Davis faces charges including battery and attempted kidnapping after a Miami Gardens club incident; a civil lawsuit seeks over $50,000 in damages, police said.
- On January 14, 2026, Gervonta Davis, the former three-weight champion, was arrested in Miami on charges of battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping, police said.
- The arrest warrant issued Jan. 14 traces to an Oct. 27 incident at a Miami Gardens strip club where Courtney Rossel reported Davis confronted and assaulted her, later filing a civil complaint.
- MGPD executive officer Emmanuel Jeanty said `The investigation determined that Mr. Davis used force to restrain in an attempt to remove the victim from the location against her will`, and Davis was booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with a Jan. 28 mugshot.
- The WBA reclassified Davis as a 'champion in recess' earlier this month, and his planned exhibition with Jake Paul was canceled, replaced by Anthony Joshua, leaving his boxing future uncertain.
- Davis's prior 2023 probation and 90-day house arrest sentence add context as he faces a likely lengthy 2026 court calendar that could affect his Maryland probation and boxing career.
