Boxer Gervonta Davis was arrested on Tuesday afternoon after he allegedly struck a woman in the head in Parkland, Florida, according to ESPN’s Mike Coppinger.<\/p>\n

Davis was arrested just before 3 pm on Tuesday after he allegedly hit a woman in the side of her head with a \u201cclosed hand type slap.\u201d The woman reportedly sustained a small abrasion to the inside of her to the inside of her upper lip.<\/p>\n

The woman called police twice, according to ESPN, and was heard pleading for help while telling dispatchers that she had \u201ca baby in the car and [Davis] attacked me \u2026 He’s going to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That first call ended, but the woman then reportedly reconnected with police less than a minute later briefly. She also apparently pressed the emergency button in her car, and told the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Center that a man was \u201cspeeding at her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis was charged with battery causing bodily harm, which is a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. He was reportedly not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of his arrest. Davis was released on Wednesday afternoon after posting bail.<\/p>\n

He denied the not on Twitter, but he has since deleted the post.<\/p>\n

“I NEVER PUT MY HANDS ON MY CHILD MOTHER NOR MY F***ING DAUGHTER ARE YOU F***ING CRAZY!!” part of his tweet said, via ESPN. “I’M NOT A MONSTER I BEEN QUIET FOR TOO LONG … THAT’S THE ONLY REASON I’M DOING THIS NOW! JUST TO CLEAR MY NAME!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Davis, 28, is a perfect 27-0 as a professional fighter. His next bout is scheduled for Jan. 7, when Davis will take on Hector Luis Garcia as part of a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view event on Showtime. It’s unclear whether the alleged arrest will impact that fight. Showtime is looking into the incident, and Davis’ boxing promoter declined to comment to ESPN.<\/p>\n

Davis’ career has been marred by multiple arrests. He was arrested for aggravated assault in 2017 though those charges were dropped. Davis was also arrested in 2018 for getting into a fight in Washington, DC In 2020, Davis was arrested for alleged domestic violence against his former girlfriend. That case was discharged in December, meaning no punishment was imposed on Davis.<\/p>\n

That same year, Davis was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run and accused of fleeing the scene. Davis is set to go to trial on Feb. 16, 2023 after a plea deal stemming from the hit-and-run arrest was rejected in September.<\/p>\n
