Gervonta Davis Faces New Arrest Warrant in Ongoing Assault Case

A new arrest warrant has been issued for professional boxer Gervonta Davis, tied to an assault incident that occurred in October 2025. According to reports, this probation violation warrant stems from security footage that allegedly captured Davis with his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami.

Legal Complications and Probation Violations

Authorities allege that Davis physically assaulted Rossel while she was working at the club. The incident previously led to criminal charges including battery, attempted kidnapping, and false imprisonment, though one felony count was eventually dismissed. Investigators have maintained that the security footage obtained during the investigation serves as a critical piece of evidence supporting the accuser’s account of the events.

The new warrant reportedly originates from Maryland officials, who determined that the Miami incident constitutes a violation of the terms of Davis’ earlier 2020 hit-and-run conviction in Baltimore. In that case, Davis pleaded guilty to a crash that injured four people, including a pregnant woman. His sentence included 90 days of home detention, community service, and three years of probation, with additional jail time served later for violating the terms of his home detention.

Civil Litigation and Denials

Beyond the criminal proceedings, Rossel has filed a civil lawsuit against the boxer, alleging a pattern of repeated abuse and violence throughout their relationship. In court filings, she has accused Davis of various acts of physical aggression, including choking, dragging her by her hair, and forcibly restraining her during the October altercation.

Davis has consistently denied these allegations. His legal team has previously argued that the accusations are part of an attempt by Rossel to extort him financially ahead of his high-profile professional fights. As the legal situation continues to unfold, the intersection of his past convictions and these new allegations remains a significant point of scrutiny for the athlete.
