WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis was arrested on Friday on misdemeanour domestic violence charges.

The arrest was related to an incident near Miami, Florida, on 15 June, Father’s Day.

Davis allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, outside her home.

The 30-year-old was taken into custody in Miami but has since been released on $10,000 (£7,400) bond, with a court hearing scheduled for 29 July.

He has twice previously been arrested on battery domestic violence charges, in February 2020 and December 2022.

Davis has also served 44 days in jail in 2023 after violating the terms of a 90-day house arrest sentence, in relation to a criminal hit-and-run case that occurred in his hometown of Baltimore in November 2020.

The former IBF super featherweight champion is unbeaten from 31 professional fights, although his most recent bout was a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr in March and they have a rematch scheduled for August.
