The boxing superstar was reduced to a fugitive status overnight. Former WBA lightweight world champion Jervonta Davis (31, USA) is currently at large, with an arrest warrant issued for assaulting and imprisoning her ex-girlfriend.
Japanese media 'Tokyo Sports' and others said on the 28th, "Davis, the champion of the world's third weight class, went missing," adding, "He disappeared while refusing the police's request to attend." The WBA deprived Davis of his title," he reported.
According to local reports, Davis is accused of assault, illegal imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping against his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossell in October last year. According to the BBC, Miami Gardens police issued an arrest warrant for Davis on the 14th.
According to police investigation, Davis is accused of using force to detain him. The victim said, "Davis grabbed the hair with one hand and strangled it with the other hand and tried to forcefully drag it." Police have also secured CCTV footage supporting the statement.
The situation is serious. Davis went into hiding in defiance of police calls for attendance. The victim's lawyer said, "We sent the executor to Davis' home six times, but it was not fruitful," adding that he is on the run to escape the investigation network. Currently, Miami police are working with the federal sheriff's office's fugitive task force to track down Davis.
Davis' career was fatally shot in the aftermath of the incident. In March 2025, he showed off his robustness by succeeding in the sixth defense against Ramon Roach Jr. (US), but the incident destroyed the event match scheduled for November with YouTuber Jake Paul. The impact spread throughout the boxing world, with the match between Hiraoka Andy (Japan), who was scheduled to play the world title match, also postponed.
Spanish media "Marca" also reported, "The WBA, who recognized this fact, deprived Davis of his lightweight title."
This is not the first time Davis has had a legal problem. He spent 44 days in custody in 2023 for a hit-and-run accident in Baltimore in November 2020. He also had a history of being arrested for domestic violence in 2020 and 2022. In October last year, a civil lawsuit was filed from another ex-girlfriend seeking more than $50,000 (about 70 million won) in damages.
