, Gervonta Davis arrested and jailed over alleged domestic violence just days before title bout against Hector Luis Garcia

BOXER Gervonta Davis has been arrested and jailed over alleged domestic violence just days before his next fight.

The American is due to face Hector Luis Garcia on Saturday, January 7 in a defence of his WBA “Regular” lightweight belt.

Gervonta Davis’ recent mugshot

But the pay-per-view title bout has been thrown into major doubt following the news of Davis’ arrest. 

Broward County (Florida) inmate records show that on Tuesday evening Parkland police arrested him with charges of battery causing bodily harm.

They classified the incident as alleged domestic violence and published his mugshot.

It has not yet been made public exactly when or where the alleged incident took place.

This is the latest brush with the law in the career of unbeaten Davis, 28, nicknamed “Tank”.

He was in February 2020 previously arrested and charged in Miami with two misdemeanour counts of simple battery domestic violence on the mother of his daughter at a charity basketball game.

A video of the alleged incident went viral on social media at the time.

The related court case dragged on for nearly three years before the prosecution abandoned the charges earlier this month on December 13.

Davis is also due to stand trial on February 16, which was pushed back from December, facing 14 charges from an alleged hit-and-run in 2020.

Showtime, the TV network broadcasting the fight against Garcia as well as promoters Premier Boxing Champions and TGB Promotions are yet to comment on Davis’ recent arrest. 

And it remains to be seen whether the fight against Dominican Garcia, 31, will still go ahead. 

Davis is in line for a super-fight against Ryan Garcia, 23, next year, with his return bout a proposed tune-up to prepare.
