Boxer Gervonta "Tank" Davis is facing a new arrest warrant out of Maryland, stemming from a 2020 hit-and-run incident that injured four people, including a pregnant woman. The warrant was issued on the grounds that Davis violated his probation related to that case. This latest legal issue comes just a week after Davis was arrested in Miami on domestic violence allegations.

Why it matters

Davis is one of the top boxers in the world, with an undefeated professional record. However, he has faced a series of legal troubles in recent years, including the 2020 hit-and-run case and now the new domestic violence allegations. These repeated run-ins with the law raise concerns about Davis' behavior and ability to stay out of trouble, which could jeopardize his boxing career if the issues continue.

The details

The new Maryland arrest warrant was issued by Judge Althea Handy on Monday, citing that Davis violated the terms of his probation from the 2020 hit-and-run case. Davis had received 90 days of house arrest, three years of probation, and 200 hours of community service in that case. He was later sent to jail for violating the terms of his home confinement. Davis' attorney has asked the judge to recall the warrant and instead issue a summons, arguing that detaining Davis in Maryland would "frustrate, not facilitate, compliance" with the Florida case and create "substantial logistical barriers" to his court appearances.
