Boxing star Gervonta “Tank” Davis was taken into custody for domestic violence, as confirmed by TMZ Sports. The 30-year-old athlete was booked in the early hours of Friday morning and appeared in his mug shot wearing a white polo shirt with a seemingly blank expression.
The arrest comes after an incident involving his ex-girlfriend that reportedly occurred on June 15, which was Father’s Day. According to details shared by reporter Andy Slater, tensions escalated during a custody exchange of their children. The ex-girlfriend alleges that a verbal disagreement turned physical, resulting in Davis striking her in the back of the head and causing a facial laceration.
Witness accounts include the mother of the alleged victim, who reported seeing her daughter in a state of visible distress after the altercation. Moreover, police indicated that the woman provided video evidence of the confrontation, in which Davis purportedly threw a small box at her.
This incident marks another chapter in a series of legal troubles for Davis, who has faced multiple arrests in the past.
While the legal proceedings will unfold, it is hoped that Davis can seek the support he needs and address these issues constructively moving forward. In a sport where mental and emotional resilience is vital, this could serve as a pivotal moment for reflection and growth.
