Boxing superstar Gervonta “Tank” Davis faces serious legal trouble in Florida after his apprehension following a two-week search. Police arrested the former three-weight-class world champion in Miami on Wednesday night, ending a multi-agency manhunt led by the Miami Gardens Police Department and the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force.

The arrest stems from a Jan. 14 warrant which accuses Davis of battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping. According to law enforcement, Davis was located in the Miami Design District after a surveillance operation that spanned three counties. He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at approximately 10 p.m. on Thursday.

The allegations date back to an Oct. 27 incident  at a local strip club. Police reports state that Davis entered the establishment and confronted his former girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, who was working as a VIP cocktail server. The report alleges that Davis grabbed Rossel by her throat and hair before moving her to a back room where he reportedly restrained her. Authorities say he then took her to the parking lot before eventually releasing her.

Rossel told investigators that she and Davis dated for several months in 2025 but had ceased communication after the relationship ended. In addition to the criminal charges, Rossel has filed a civil lawsuit against the boxer. Her attorney, Jeff Chukwuma, told ESPN that the police findings align with the details in their civil complaint, which led to a judge signing off on the arrest warrant.

The legal situation has already impacted Davis’ professional career. He was originally scheduled to face Jake Paul in October at the Kaseya Center in Miami, but he was removed from the event following the filing of the lawsuit. Paul later took to social media to criticize Davis over the allegations and his professionalism; he instead fought former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, suffering a broken jaw in a brutal knockout loss. Davis has not competed since fighting to a draw against Lamont Roach Jr. last March

This arrest adds to a growing list of legal complications for Davis. In 2023, he served 90 days of home occupancy and received three years of probation related to a hit-and-run incident in Baltimore.
