Boxer Gervonta Davis faces new domestic violence allegations, this time in Miami Gardens
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis is once again finding himself on the wrong side of the law, and once again on charges that stem from an alleged domestic violence incident.

Miami Gardens police said on Oct. 29, a woman claiming to be involved in an intimate relationship with Davis since 2022 arrived at the police department with her lawyer, alleging Davis physically abused her.
“The victim reported sustaining minor injuries, including visible bruising to her left arm, at the time the report was made, and sought medical attention,” said Miami Gardens police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty.
Investigators said just days prior, surveillance video showed Davis arrive at a gentlemen’s club where the victim was working.
“The victim reported that Mr. Davis grabbed her by the back of her head, pulled her hair with one hand and by her throat and forcefully escorted her down a stairway and toward the parking garage while maintaining his grip on the back of her head,” said Jeanty.
Police said the victim was only able to get away after he released her.
This is not Davis’ first run-in with the law involving domestic violence. In 2020 he was seen grabbing his then-girlfriend by the throat at a celebrity basketball game.
In 2022, Local 10 News was there as he bonded out of the Broward County Jail after being arrested for allegedly hitting an ex-girlfriend in the face.
Most recently, in July 2025, Local 10 News was also there as he bonded out of the Miami-Dade County jail after allegedly striking the mother of his child in the back of the head.
A U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is assisting the Miami Gardens Police Department as they work to arrest Davis on new charges.
At last check, Davis was still not in custody as of Wednesday evening.
Local 10 has reached out to his attorney to see if they are aware of the warrant and if Davis will turn himself in, but has not heard back as of the time of this story’s publication.

Ground stop lifted for flights coming to Miami International Airport due to weather
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted a ground stop for all incoming flights at Miami International Airport Wednesday.
The order was initially issued at about 8:30 a.m. due to poor visibility in the area caused by “low ceilings.”

According to The Weather Channel, a low ceiling “refers to low clouds or fog,” making it too dangerous to fly.

The FAA’s order was lifted around 9:30 a.m.
