Boxing, more trouble for Gervonta Davis: little Tyson arrested for domestic violence and personal injury

Gervonta Davis it’s a big one boxer: lightweight and super featherweight world champion, twenty-seven professional matches all won, twenty-five before the limit. Gervonta Davis, however, has a problem: she has to deal with her own demons, which too often reappear and risk seriously compromising her career. The boxer was arrested Tuesday in Parkland, Florida, on charges of Domestic violence and personal injury. Davis is in custody at the Broward County Main Jail Bureau in Fort Lauderdale and is expected to appear in court in the next few hours. For the 28-year-old from Baltimore, a protégé of Floyd Mayweather who is following his career, the meeting schedule scheduled for the first months of 2023 becomes a puzzle. A match in Washington against Hector Luis Garciaviaticum for the eagerly awaited – and profitable – challenge on April 25th in Las Vegas against the idol of young Mexicans, Ryan Garcia.

Gervonta Davis, life and career

The current one is not Gervonta Davis’ first problem with justice. If his city-Baltimore-is particularly problematic, the neighborhood where he grew up is even more so. In the last 3 years many good things in the ring, but many bad things outside as well. In this sense the name of little Tyson (although his in-ring alias is tank), due to its technical but also behavioral characteristics, is not exactly a reassuring calling card. In February of 2019, trouble in Virginia: involved in a fight near an ATM. The following year, problems in Florida: during a charity basketball game on the sidelines of the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, he pulls his ex-girlfriend and mother of his son. The scene is filmed and goes viral on the web. Not to mention the repeated traffic violations, the most serious being that of having fled after causing an accident in which 4 people were injured. Now yet another episode and a career increasingly in the balance.
