Miami police have issued an arrest warrant for WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. He faces charges of false imprisonment, battery, and attempted kidnapping following an alleged October incident. Authorities are now working with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force to locate the boxer, who holds the title since 2023.

The warrant follows a civil lawsuit filed in October by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel, mirroring these serious allegations. Police state video evidence supports the victim's claim that Davis used force to restrain her. This legal trouble previously forced Davis to withdraw from a scheduled exhibition bout against Jake Paul in Miami.

This incident adds to a troubled history for Davis, who has faced prior domestic violence arrests in 2020 and 2022. He also served jail time in 2023 for a hit-and-run violation. The boxing world now watches to see how these charges will impact his standing in the sport.
