Gervonta Davis Faces Arrest Warrant
Gervonta Davis is wanted again in Maryland after a judge denied his attorneys' motion to recall an active arrest warrant. On April 24, a second warrant was issued, and this time the judge wasn't interested in Davis' promises.
Gervonta Davis' probation stems from a November 2020 hit-and-run incident in Baltimore that left four people injured. He received 90 days of home detention, 200 hours of community service, and three years of probation.
The 31-year-old boxer's latest legal troubles stem from a domestic violence incident that occurred on October 27, 2025, at a Miami strip club. Video footage released in March showed Davis grabbing his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel by her head and throat before forcefully escorting her through the club.
Rossel was working as a VIP cocktail server at the time and filed a civil suit shortly after the incident. This forced Davis to withdraw from a scheduled November fight with Jake Paul.
The Maryland warrant creates a complicated situation for Davis, who's already dealing with serious criminal charges in Florida. If arrested in Maryland, he'll be held without bond pending resolution of the probation violation.
Davis was arrested on January 14 in Florida and charged with battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping. He posted an $8,500 bond and was released with strict orders to avoid any contact with Rossel.
The false imprisonment charge was later dropped, but battery and attempted kidnapping charges remain active. Rossel's legal team has been aggressive in pursuing the case, with her attorneys stating that video evidence clearly supports her account of what happened that night.
Gervonta Davis is scheduled for arraignment in Miami on a date to be determined by the court. His attorneys haven't publicly commented on the judge's decision to deny the recall motion or explained why the latest attempt failed where the February effort succeeded.
The boxer's career remains in limbo as these legal matters play out in two states. On May 22, the court denied Davis' attorneys' motion to recall the warrant outright, leaving him wanted in Maryland with no bond option if arrested.
