The manhunt for boxing champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis is over.
A fugitive task force arrested Davis on Wednesday in Miami’s Design District, according to a social media post from Miami Gardens police, two weeks after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Police said the charges stem from an incident that occurred at a Miami Gardens business on Oct. 27, 2025. Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, filed a civil suit in Miami alleging Davis beat her at her workplace earlier that week.

Rossel claimed Davis broke into a gentlemen’s club where she worked as a VIP cocktail server and attacked her in a back room with no cameras. Davis allegedly dragged Rossel through a stairwell, through a kitchen and out a back exit before assaulting him in a parking lot.
Rossel, who was in a five-month relationship with Davis before the incident, claims there were several other assaults, saying Davis “physically assaulted and strangled” her “at least” four times.
She also claimed that Davis, in writing, threatened to kill her twice in September.
Representatives for Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The boxer was scheduled to fight Jake Paul in November, but the match was canceled after the lawsuit against Davis was filed. After the fight was canceled, Paul tore into Davis as “a walking piece of human garbage.”

“Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The lack of professionalism, the bizarre requests, the hours late on set. Not to mention the numerous arrests and resulting charges and lawsuits. If you support this man, you are supporting the most vile sin a man can commit,” Paul wrote on his Instagram Stories.
“I didn’t want to give this abuser of women a platform to increase his fans and increase his bank account. My company stands for women. I am truly sorry to everyone involved. Especially to the undercard fighters, my MVP team and my team who worked so hard to prepare for this fight. Sacrificing time with his loved ones and his children just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind again. It’s scary that evil men like this can rise to the top of the world. culture and sport, including in positions of power.
Davis, 31, has had other run-ins with law enforcement in South Florida. Last summer, he was arrested for domestic violence, charges that were later dropped. He was placed under house arrest in June 2023 after pleading guilty in a hit-and-run crash that injured four people in November 2020. Davis then violated the terms of his sentence and was jailed for the remainder of it.
He was arrested for assaulting women at least two other times. One of those arrests came less than two weeks before his fight against Hector Luis Garcia. The status of the fight remained unchanged and he won via referee’s technical decision in the ninth round.
