Gervonta Davis, the American boxer known for his power and finesse in the ring, has mysteriously vanished from public view. The World Boxing Association (WBA) recently took action by stripping him of his lightweight title, citing concerns over his immediate future.
The WBA found itself in a challenging position because its officials attempted to reach Davis at his residence up to six times without success. The organization decided to name him champion in recess to prevent potential stagnation in the division.
Allegations leveled against Davis added another layer of complexity to the situation. His ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, accused him of a series of severe charges. These include an assault at her workplace on October 27, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The accusations painted a troubling picture of an altercation where Davis allegedly threatened Rossel's life.
This isn't the first time Davis found himself entangled in legal issues. In February 2020, he made headlines for a public incident at a charity basketball game at the University of Miami. Video evidence showed him physically confronting another partner by grabbing her neck and removing her from public view. The situation escalated two days later when Davis turned himself in to authorities.
While fans speculate about his whereabouts and future moves, Gervonta Davis remains off the radar, leaving boxing enthusiasts wondering when - or if - he'll return to the ring.
