Domestic violence charges dropped against boxing champ Davis

SPORTS 12.08.2025

Domestic violence charges have been dropped against unbeaten world lightweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis over a June incident with his ex-girlfriend.

Text size:

The Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office website showed a misdemeanor battery charge was discharged on Tuesday when the woman declined to prosecute Davis.

The 30-year-old American had been involved in a Father's Day incident outside the home of the woman, who has two children by the fighter, and was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach.

Davis, a southpaw boxer, is 30-0 with one draw and 28 knockouts. His most recent bout was a controversial majority draw against compatriot Lamont Roach in New York last March in which Davis kept the World Boxing Association lightweight crown.

It's not known when Davis will return to the ring, although there had been talk of a rematch with Roach, 25-1 with two drawn and 10 knockouts, before the arrest.
