Women aren’t sparring partners!: Hall of Famer warns Gervonta Davis

Gervonta Davis has got to stop using women as sparring partners, following another arrest for hitting a female last month in Florida.

That’s the view of Hall of Fame promoter Lou DiBella, who fired a scathing warning at Davis, calling for real consequences.

Police say Davis went to retrieve his two children when an argument escalated into a physical altercation.

According to police reports, the world champion boxer allegedly struck her in the back of the head, slapped her face, causing a minor lip cut, and reportedly threw a small box at the victim.

The victim texted her mother for help, who witnessed the altercation and recorded video evidence. Davis was taken into custody after a patrol cop flagged a license plate on Lincoln Road.

Police took another mugshot as he was booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami-Dade. Davis is being held on $10,000 bail and reportedly refused to sign the Miranda rights form.

Davis, who spent 44 days in prison two years ago and had been on parole, faces charges, including a misdemeanor battery/domestic violence charge.

‘Tank’ has a long-running legal history: prior domestic violence arrests in 2022 and 2023 (one dropped, one dismissed) and a 2020 hit-and-run conviction.

DiBella’s Scathing Warning
The arrest has sparked intense backlash from boxing figures calling for real ramifications, especially considering Davis’ pattern of targeting women.

Reacting to news of yet another run-in with the law, DiBella didn’t mince words on social media:

“Again? Lovely. What a waste of talent and opportunity. There must be repercussions at some point. Women aren’t sparring partners!”

The boxing veteran, known for promoting champions and advocating for fighters’ rights, made it clear that he has had enough of the repeated out-of-the-ring issues that have plagued Davis throughout his career.

Calls for Accountability Intensify
Calls are growing louder across the sport for Davis to face real accountability, with figures like DiBella now demanding action, not silence.

Whether that comes from promoters, commissions, or broadcasters remains to be seen. But one thing is clear — even Tank’s most prominent defenders are running out of patience.

This latest saga has thrown his rumored rematch with Lamont Roach Jr. in August into doubt.
