Lamont Roach Reacts with Joy to the Resolution of Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ Domestic Violence Case
On July 11, Gervonta “Tank” Davis (who is the WBA lightweight champion and one of boxing’s biggest stars) was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of assault after an alleged domestic violence dispute with his ex-girlfriend (who is also the mother of his two children).
The incident occurred on June 15, when Davis allegedly struck the woman on the back of the head. He also allegedly slapped her in the face while she was removing the children from the back of Davis’ car after he came to pick them up for Father’s Day.
The victim reportedly had a cut on her inner lip as a result of this altercation, and her mother (who appeared on the scene after the reported altercation occurred) had a phone recording where Davis could reportedly be seen throwing an object at his ex-girlfriend.

On August 12, Dylan Segelbaum of the Baltimore Banner broke news that the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office decided against filing charges against Davis. This stemmed from Lindsay Chase, an attorney who represents Davis’ ex-girlfriend, reporting via email that she was declining to prosecute Davis.
Segelbaum’s article also notes that any attempts to contact the ex-girlfriend’s mother have been unsuccessful in the wake of Davis’ arrest, and since the police officer who arrived on the scene hadn’t witnessed any of the alleged altercations take place, he couldn’t be used as a witness.
As a result of this verdict, Gervonta is now free to focus on his boxing career for the time being. Of course, he was scheduled to face Lamont Roach on August 16, in a rematch of their March 1 title fight that ended up being a majority draw.
