Gervonta “Tank” Davis is undefeated in a boxing ring. However, outside the ring, the hooks are busting him up. Legally and morally, we have an issue. ESPN is reporting that Davis, 30, may have assaulted the mother of his children at least 10 times over the course of their relationship. The allegations are disturbing and seem to be repetitive.
This is a pattern.
The latest incident, which occurred on Father’s Day in Doral, Florida, has rumors coming out of the new battery charges. Police allege Davis hit his ex-girlfriend in the back of the head and slapped her outside of her home. That’s the official report. But what’s not in the docket is the history. That is a bit “yet” as well. Sources cited by ESPN say this woman has been on the receiving end of Davis’ fists multiple times over the years. I happen to believe authorities and his children’s mother might be done giving him passes.
He is out now, but for how long?
Right now, these are misdemeanor charges. But the sheer volume of alleged abuse could push prosecutors to elevate this into a felony case. If she “flips” or if they’re pressured to treat Davis like a civilian and not a cash cow. Stars are treated different in the justice system. I don’t want this, but Davis could face real prison time. I hope he gets help! What could be driving him to risk it all like this?
His career could also suffer a critical hit. Davis has a fight coming up. And that fight he nearly lost! He got dropped even though they did not count it as such. Taking a knee…is a knock down. That may be one of the reasons the alleged victim hasn’t pursued heavier charges in the past. We know that “do not mess up the money” mantra well!
Davis has faced trouble before. In 2022, he was arrested for allegedly slapping a woman during a separate domestic incident. Those charges were dropped. How many more before someone steps in? Where is Don King when you need him?
Focus, Tank!
