Gervonta Davis Speaks at Bond Hearing as Lawyer Says He Is the Victim

Gervonta Davis briefly addressed the court during a bond hearing following his arrest in Miami, as his attorney claimed the former world champion is “actually a victim” in the case.

Davis was released later the same day after bond was set at $16,000, with the court issuing a stay-away and no-contact order as part of the conditions of his release.

Davis appeared before a judge after being taken into custody on charges of attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, and battery stemming from an alleged October incident.

During the hearing, the court outlined strict conditions tied to his release.

Judge issues stay-away order as Davis responds
“Mr. Davis, you are ordered to stay away from the alleged victim,” the judge said. “No contact with the victim either directly, indirectly, in person, in writing, by telephone, or through third parties. Do you understand the stay-away order, sir?”

Davis responded simply, “Yes.”

The judge then summarized the charges before the court, stating: “Attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, and battery.”

Attorney disputes allegations during hearing
During the proceeding, Davis’ attorney disputed the allegations.

“Where their alleged victim has lied to them in an effort to try and extort money out of somebody,” Davis’ lawyer told the court. “This case is going absolutely nowhere. The police officer who investigated this was lied to blatantly.”

An objection was raised during the exchange, with opposing counsel noting that probable cause had already been established.

“A judge has already found probable cause,” the attorney said.

Davis’ lawyer then clarified that he was not seeking to relitigate the case during the hearing.

“All I’m asking is, Your Honor, leave the bond and issue the stay-away order,” he said. “I understand this is not my first date.”

Bond was left in place, and the no-contact order was formally issued as a condition of Davis’ release.

Lawyer reiterates “victim” claim in statement
Following the hearing, Davis’ attorney reiterated his position, saying the case would ultimately be viewed differently as it moves through the court.

“Gervonta Davis is actually a victim here, and I look forward to establishing that shocking narrative in court,” the lawyer said in a statement to The Associated Press.

“What has happened to Gervonta Davis in this case will transcend the initial charges against him and expose a level of criminality which will be talked about long after his charges are resolved.”

The case remains ongoing.

‘Hit Harder Than Canelo’: Terence Crawford names who hit him hardest after 42 fight career

By
Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez

Last month, Terence Crawford announced his retirement from boxing, but when recalling which opponent hit him the hardest during the entirety of his professional career, ‘Bud’ provided an unexpected response.

Crawford hung up the gloves two months on from a career-defining victory over Canelo Alvarez, as the Omaha-born phenomenon became the first fighter to become a three-weight undisputed champion in the four-belt era and just the second of all time.

That super-middleweight triumph is made all the more impressive by the fact that Crawford first claimed world honours as a lightweight, making the win sit as one of the most impressive triumphs since the turn of the millennium.

However, despite moving up multiple weight-classes to face Canelo, Crawford explained that he did not feel overwhelmed by the punch power of the super-middleweight superstar. Instead, in the post-fight interview, Crawford named Lithuanian welterweight Egidijus Kavaliauskas as a harder puncher.

“I’ve been hit harder in a real fight. ‘Mean Machine’ [Kavaliauskas] hit harder than Canelo, to me, to be honest.”

Kavaliauskas collided with Crawford back in 2019 in his maiden challenge for a world title, where he was stopped by the American after nine rounds of action. He does, however, have a claim as the only man to drop the American star. Though Crawford touching the canvas in round three was ruled a slip, most feel that the referee should have awarded a knockdown.

That shortcoming was the first of Kavaliauskas’s career, but the 37-year-old has been trumped by both Vergil Ortiz Jr and Souleymane Cissokho since.

The Kaunas contender has since bounced back from defeat to Cissokho, after a controversial win against Samuel Molina on home soil saw him get his hands on the EBU European welterweight crown and rise to #7 in the WBC 147lb ratings.

Anthony Joshua staves off tears as he opens up on loss of friends in car crash

Anthony Joshua has opened up on the loss of two close friends as he issued a tearful message to the fans addressing his fatal car crash in Nigeria.

The boxing world united to pay tribute to Joshua’s former teammates Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele after both were killed in the accident near Lagos on 29 December.

‘AJ’, the former world heavyweight champion, appeared in agony as he was hauled out of the vehicle but was only left with minor injuries and has since returned to the gym in a bid to revisit his craft.

Joshua issued an initial statement paying tribute to Ghami and Ayodele but has now taken to Instagram to speak more vulnerably to his fanbase.

“Not only did their parents, their uncles, their cousins their friends, and myself lose two great men. We lost people we dearly care about and have been major players in all of our lives,” Joshua said. “It’s tough, it’s really tough.

“I’m not going to sit here and show all of my emotions. I know in today’s day and age, it’s easy to micro-analyse as people and pass judgement but I know what I feel, and that’s what matters to me.

“I know what my duty is. They’re my brothers, they’re my friends, first and foremost. And then we became business partners. We became hustlers. We became lieutenants, we became generals. We became everything. We became housemates who were living together.”

It was the third post from Joshua since the accident, having first posted a shot of himself alongside family members, with a portrait shot of Ghami, before posting a touching written tribute.

As he staved off tears, Joshua added: “It is a shame, it’s a shame. So there’s that side of things. One day my time will come and I’m not scared at all. It’s actually comforting knowing I’ve got two brothers on the other side.

“I’ve lost people before but I don’t think I’ve lost people like that. My left and my right. Throughout this like journey that I’ve been on, they’ve been (here), it’s not easy.

“I’m the big guy, but I was walking with giants that kept me protected, kept me shielded. But the mission must go on. I understand my duty. I understand what they wanted to do for their families.

“So what my goal is, it’s to continue to help them achieve their goals, even though they may not be here in physical. When I pray at night, when I pray in the morning, I know spiritually they’re gonna aid me through because it’s not just physical strength that will get me through, it’s going to take a lot of strength from the higher power.

“I’m going to definitely be saying my prayers and I’m gonna help them fulfil their dreams for their families. Not only me, there’s a whole team of us, the the whole brotherhood, the whole sisterhood that will be helping fulfil their legacy and fulfil their dreams.”

Joshua also made sure to thank all those who had offered their support and love across social media, saying it was “all acknowledged”.

The crash came just 10 days after Joshua knocked out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a fight in Miami.

Plans had been made for Joshua to fight again in February, likely in Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh Season boss Turki Alalshikh proposing a future fight in 2026 against long-time British rival Tyson Fury.

Gervonta Davis Arrest Ends With Same-Day Release on Bail

Gervonta Davis was arrested in Miami on Wednesday following a weeks-long search that began after authorities issued an arrest warrant tied to an alleged domestic incident in October.

The Miami Gardens Police Department confirmed that detectives, working in coordination with the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force, located Davis after tracking his movements across multiple counties. Officers observed Davis exiting a retail location in Miami’s Design District and took him into custody without incident.

READ: How Gervonta Davis arrested by police, U.S. Marshals for Miami G

Police said Davis was charged with battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping. He was transported for warrant processing before being booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Facility.

Released on bail after brief custody
Court records show Davis was released on bail later the same day after spending a short period in custody. Bail was set at $16,000.

While the immediate legal process allowed for his release, the charges carry potential custodial consequences if the case proceeds, placing Davis’ immediate and long-term boxing future under serious uncertainty.

October incident and surveillance review
The charges stem from an alleged incident on October 27, 2025, at a Miami Gardens gentlemen’s club. Court documents identify the alleged victim as Courtney Rossel.

According to ESPN, surveillance footage from the venue was reviewed by investigators and corroborated elements of the account outlined in police filings. An active warrant was subsequently issued, and Davis remained at large for two weeks prior to his arrest. U.S. Marshals assisted local authorities during the search.

Civil case and championship status
In addition to the criminal charges, Davis faces a civil lawsuit filed by Rossel alleging battery, kidnapping, and emotional distress related to the same October incident, according to Local 10 News.

Court records indicate that multiple service attempts connected to the civil case were unsuccessful while the criminal warrant remained outstanding.

During that period, Davis’ status with the World Boxing Association was changed to “champion in recess.” President Gilberto Mendoza later reported that the organization stripped Davis of his lightweight title while he remained at large.

Career impact and prior legal history
The arrest led to the cancellation of a planned bout between Davis and Jake Paul.

Davis has faced prior legal issues, including a domestic violence case in 2020 and a 2023 conviction for leaving the scene of a crash that injured four people. He served a period of house arrest related to the latter case.

Miami Gardens Police stated that the investigation remains focused on victim protection and public safety.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods Accuse By Nelly Korda of ‘unbeli

Nelly Korda accuses Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods of ‘unbelievable miss’

LPGA standout Nelly Korda has suggested that Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods squandered a significant chance, despite their launch of a women’s edition of TGL.

TGL is currently in its sophomore season following a triumphant debut year in 2025. With fresh investment and plans for growth, McIlroy and Woods revealed that WTGL would kick off at the close of 2026.

Player recruitment is already underway for the inaugural season, with World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul already on board.

Nelly Korda: Lack of mixed indoor league in TGL 'an unbelievable miss' says world number two - BBC Sport

READ: After the couple’s loved-up display at his lavish 50th birthday bash Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are

While LPGA standout Nelly Korda hasn’t yet signed up for the new circuit, she believes McIlroy and Woods should have created a mixed-gender TGL instead of establishing a separate women’s league.

To date, WTGL has confirmed that Thitikul, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson, and Lexi Thompson will compete in the league. Rising talents Rose Zhang and Lottie Woad were added to the growing lineup on Tuesday.

Korda hasn’t turned down an invitation to participate but is still considering her options. Before reaching a conclusion, however, Korda has raised concerns about why all elite golfers weren’t united in a single competition.

“I have mixed feelings on it if I’m being very honest… and I’m surprised no other girls have, or no one’s really spoken out about it,” Korda told Golfweek. “I think it’s a huge and unbelievable miss that we’re not playing alongside the men.

“There’s no greater way to grow the game, and it would have been revolutionary. It would have been the first time, I think, that men and women are on the same playing field, playing for the same exact amount of money.”

Despite this, Korda remains appreciative that a women’s version of TGL is coming to fruition. “But I also think it’s great that we are getting this opportunity, so that’s my mixed feelings,” she noted.

While WTGL awaits Korda’s response to their invitation, the former World No. 1 isn’t in any hurry to commit.

She hasn’t dismissed the possibility of participating, but is carefully weighing her choices.

“I’m just still weighing out the time commitment… I just haven’t really thought about it too much, because I’ve been really focused on trying to get ready for this season,” she explained.

“I think logistically, they’re still trying to figure some stuff out, so I will just weigh out my options in the near future.”

Regardless of Korda’s uncertainty and reservations, WTGL leadership couldn’t be more pleased with the reception the league has garnered so far. Following the announcement of new roster members, WTGL emphasized the widespread enthusiasm among LPGA Tour players.

Liz Moore, chief media, strategy, and legal officer, commented: “The response to WTGL since our launch has been incredibly encouraging, particularly in the level of interest and commitment we’re seeing from players across the LPGA Tour,

“Having Lottie and Rose join this growing group – and seeing so many WTGL players competing this week at the LPGA Tour’s ‍season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions – reinforces our belief that WTGL will complement the LPGA in a meaningful way and create new opportunities to showcase the incredible talent, personalities, and competitiveness of our athletes.”

Gervonta Davis arrested by police, U.S. Marshals for Miami Gardens domestic violence incident

Professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis was arrested Wednesday in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident from last year, officials said.

Miami Gardens Police announced that Davis, 31, was taken into custody without incident in Miami’s Design District by Special Investigations officers and the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force.

Davis faces charges of battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping, police said.

“The Miami Gardens Police Department remains committed to protecting victims, holding offenders accountable, and ensuring the safety of our community,” the department said in a post on Instagram.

The alleged incident happened Oct. 27 at a gentlemen’s club in Miami Gardens, where the woman worked. Officials said they aren’t releasing her name or the name of the club for her safety.

Davis allegedly grabbed the woman by the back of her head, pulling her with one hand and holding her throat with another as he forcefully took her to a parking garage, police said.

He eventually released her, and she ran to coworkers, police said. She suffered bruises on her left arm.

Police said the woman had known Davis since 2022 and had been in an intimate relationship with him, but it ended a month before the incident.

Surveillance video corroborates the victim’s statement about the incident, police said.

A warrant was issued for his arrest earlier this month.

Davis has previously faced multiple domestic violence charges in South Florida, including this past July, when he was accused of hitting the mother of his children.

He was also arrested in Broward County in 2022 in another domestic violence case.

Davis was also previously charged in Coral Gables for a 2020 incident in which he allegedly beat his girlfriend, but those charges were dropped.

Tyson Fury comeback fight announced as he returns April 11 on Netflix

Tyson Fury‘s return to the ring has been officially confirmed.

Fury had spent the past year on the sidelines after announcing his retirement in January 2025 following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk throughout 2024.

In Fury’s absence, Usyk has continued to reign as top dog in the heavyweight division, once again becoming undisputed champion, before vacating his WBO belt in November, which is now in the possession of Fabio Wardley.

‘The Gypsy King’ will now look to get back into the mix by ending that retirement and returning to the sport. Today, it has been announced that he will take on Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 in the UK, broadcast live on Netflix as main event on a Ring Magazine card.

Makhmudov was last in action in October when he defeated Dave Allen by unanimous decision in Sheffield, but he now faces a much tougher task in Fury, who has only ever lost to Usyk during his career.

Victory over the Russian could lead to a world title fight for Fury, who revealed earlier this week he would be happy to have a showdown with WBO champion Wardley later this year.

“Like I said, let’s see how I am looking in my return fight, then later in 2026 this would be a good option for me to try [and] become [three-time] heavyweight champion.

“[Fabio] has a hard fight himself coming up soon. I know the fight you guys all want but, at this time, I won’t say his name out of respect, as he is in mourning.

“But if he is not going to continue in boxing, I’d like Big Fab as a big test. This would be a massive spectacle!”

First things first, Fury must overcome Makhmudov.

As we previously reported … authorities in the 305 announced on Jan. 14 the 31-year-old was wanted on three charges — battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping.

Officials said it all stemmed from an alleged incident with a woman at a local gentleman’s club.

The woman — who claimed she had an intimate relationship with Tank for five months — said the boxer approached her while she was working at the establishment around 4:15 AM in late October. The woman said he “grabbed her by the back of her head, pulling her by the hair with one hand and by her throat with another.”

She told cops that Gervonta “forcefully escorted her” down a stairway and to the parking garage, all while he maintained a grip on the back of her head. Once in the parking area — she said Davis then released her — and she ran toward her co-workers for safety.

The woman, who cops would not identify, then went to the local station two days later to report it.

Officials stated the lead detective obtained and reviewed video footage “that corroborates key elements of the victim’s statements.”

Prior to his arrest … Davis was also sued by the woman on Halloween over the same altercation.

This alleged assault derailed Tank’s fight against Jake Paul, which was set to take place in November. After these accusations came to light, Paul and Most Valuable Promotions called it off.

Insider claims Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are ‘each other’s ideal type’ after couple’s loved-up display at his lavish 50th birthday bash

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are seemingly as loved-up as ever as the golf icon celebrated his 50th birthday with his high-profile girlfriend by his side.

The 15-time major winner, who turned 50 at the end of last month, toasted the milestone in a lavish bash on Wednesday as a co-celebration of 30 years of his charitable foundation.

The opulent party, which took place at The Breakers hotel in the billionaire enclave of Palm Beach, Florida, hosted 300 VIP guests who enjoyed a feast that honored the sporting great’s five Masters victories.

And while Woods mingled with the star-studded guest list, he reportedly spent a lot of the night cozied up to his 48-year-old girlfriend.

‘Tiger was with Vanessa but also busy talking to people he knows from the charity,’ a source told People Magazine. 

‘There was some serious partying going down all night by the philanthropists and other high profile guests,’ they continued.

‘They seemed to have a great time,’ the source added.

Meanwhile, another insider weighed in on the romance, claiming that the golfing legend and former wife of Donald Trump Jr. were a match made in heaven.

‘Vanessa and Tiger have a lot in common with each other and with their kids,’ they told the outlet. ‘And each is the other’s ideal type.’

Earlier this week, exclusive Daily Mail photos reveal the recently minted couple with Jon Bon Jovi, who performed an acoustic set ahead of the banquet that honored the sporting great’s five Masters victories.

The love birds, who went public with their romance last March, quietly slipped into the main ballroom for the stunning event, The Daily Mail revealed.

The 15-time major winner chose a classic dark tuxedo look with a red tie and red pocket square, while Vanessa stunned in a slinky black dress and red high heels while carrying a gold clutch bag.

Massive security surrounded the party, with local and state cops flooding hotel corridors.

Meanwhile, Secret Service agents were warily eyeing anyone passing the ballroom doors – behind which Vanessa’s golf protege daughter Kai also was among the revelers.

Woods and his new love chatted with the throng of guests enjoying cocktails and canapes as pop music played at around 6.30pm.

They then slipped out to a nearby small reception room to greet 63-year-old Bon Jovi.

Woods beamed as he had his picture taken with the rock legend, who has a $43million mansion in the exclusive beach town, also home to President Donald Trump. The couple then headed back to mingle.

Just after 7pm, Bon Jovi nipped across the corridor that was guarded by another phalanx of Secret Service agents to head into the ballroom for his acoustic set.

Woods’s combined bash for his TGR Foundation and birthday – which was in December – was given the title RED: Celebrating Legacy.

The color element was down to his signature dress code for the final day of a golf tournament, when he always wears red, a tradition started by his mother, Kultida, who believed it empowered him.

All the guests wore some element of the color as they tucked into the menu of a mix of items from his five Masters Championship dinners.

These included sushi, porterhouse steaks, crab cakes, cheeseburgers, steak and chicken fajitas, stuffed jalapenos, French fries and milkshakes.

The glowing tribute event wound up shortly after 10pm, with revelers flowing out of the ballroom clutching their small black boxes.

Woods and Vanessa began dating in November 2024 after meeting at events at the $38,595-a-year Benjamin School, where both their children attended.

Vanessa married ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. in 2005 and divorced in 2018. They share five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe. The divorce was relatively amicable, and both Donald Jr. and his father, President Donald Trump, have put their seals of approval on her relationship with Woods, Daily Mail can reveal.

Woods shares two kids – Sam Alexis and Charlie – with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, whom he married in 2004 and divorced in 2010 after a shocking sex scandal in which he publicly admitted to cheating on her with multiple women during their six-year marriage.

And as Woods’ career winds down after a litany of injuries, it appears he is leaning on his new girlfriend more and more.

‘She came into his life at just the right time,’ a source close to Woods told the Daily Mail. ‘She showed up as he was seriously considering what happens next in his career. She has added so much stability on the home front, and he gushes about her influence in his life.’

Terence Crawford answers if he’d end retirement for Floyd Mayweather fight

Terence Crawford followed in Floyd Mayweather’s footsteps this month when he announced his retirement with an unblemished record.

The switch-hitter from Omaha, Nebraska secured his 42nd win and an undisputed title in a third weight class when he beat Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez earlier this year. Though many felt a rematch would take place, Crawford instead revealed that he was walking away from the sport on top.

JUST IN: “Once he returns.”: Gervonta Davis Emerges as Preferred Rematch

Speaking on a live stream with Adin Ross, during which ‘Bud’ discussed his career and decision to retire, he was asked about how he would go about fighting Floyd Mayweather – the one man past or present he has admitted he might struggle with.

“It’d be a good chess match. Floyd’s one of the greatest at playing chess, so it’d be a game of who’s gonna out-think who.”

Mayweather famously retired undefeated, too, his record of 50-0 summing up his elite defensive skillset. While he has remained relatively active on the exhibition circuit, he recently revealed that a professional return to the sport at 48-years-old is ‘on the table.’

With that in mind, Crawford was asked if he would return for that all-American spectacle, and gave the answer most fans will want to hear.

“Nah, man. Floyd is old. Floyd is done.”

Mayweather may look to pursue a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino fighting legend, who made his own pro comeback last year to draw with Mario Barrios, has said it is an option and that talks are ongoing.
