Star boxer Gervonta Davis has been arrested, just days before his scheduled fight against Hector Luis Garcia. Boxer was charged with battery as domestic violence. According to jail records, the 28-year-old was booked in Broward County on Tuesday on a battery domestic violence charge. He posed for a mug shot -- and the records show as of late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, he was still in police custody. So where is he now? Has he been released?
Davis, 28, was scheduled to fight Hector Luis Garcia on Jan. 7. This served as the precursor to a megafight for early 2023, featuring Davis and Ryan Garcia, two of the biggest rising stars in boxing. The exact date, location, and weight of the megafight have not been made official but multiple reports say it will be a catchweight bout at 136 pounds in Las Vegas in April.
This comes eleven days ahead of Davis’ planned WBA ‘Regular’ lightweight title defense versus Dominican Republic’s Hector Luis Garcia (16-0, 10KOs; 3NC). Davis is training in South Florida for the upcoming bout which is currently scheduled to headline a January 7 Showtime Pay-Per-View event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) from Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
The statute associated with the arrest record states that “(1) (a) the offense of battery occurs when a person… (2) A person who has one prior conviction for battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery and who commits any second or subsequent battery commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. For purposes of this subsection, “conviction” means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or a trial, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld or a plea of nolo contendere is entered.”
The 28-year-old southpaw is still due to stand trial on February 16 in his Baltimore hometown, where he faces multiple misdemeanor charges from his alleged involvement in a November 2020 hit-and-run incident. His legal team attempted to present a plea agreement that was reached with the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s office but it was rejected by a Baltimore City Circuit court judge on September 22.
Davis’s upcoming fight with Dominican Republic’s Garcia—a WBA junior lightweight titlist moving up in weight—was intended to help promote an agreed upon superfight with Victorville, California’s Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19KOs; no relation to Hector) later next spring.
Now Gervonta Davis has still been arrested and jailed overnight, charged with battery causing bodily harm in an alleged domestic violence incident. He‘s due to face Hector Luis Garcia on Jan 7th and also due for trial on Feb 16th facing 14 charges from alleged hit-and-run in 2020.
