Gervonta Davis faces a major setback with legal issues threatening his future in boxing. An arrest warrant issued in October 2025 after allegations from his former girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, puts the career of the fighter known as "Tank" at risk.

Davis, often regarded as unbeatable with a confident persona, now confronts accusations of battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping. Since the lawsuit's filing, authorities have struggled to locate him. Reports confirm that both U.S. Marshals and local police continue their search actively.

In recent months, World Boxing News hinted at a potential blockbuster fight involving Davis and Manny Pacquiao. However, these plans fell apart following Davis' current legal woes. Speculation surrounded whether this would be an official bout or just an exhibition match.

Other anticipated showdowns with boxing figures like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Rolly Romero also seem to fade away with ongoing investigations into Davis' case.

Despite turning 30 and appearing to adopt a more mature stance by prioritizing fatherhood, this latest legal entanglement suggests otherwise for Davis. His once-promising trajectory in the sport hangs precariously due to persistent personal troubles contradicting any signs of positive growth or change.
