WBA Downgrades Gervonta Davis to 'Champion in Recess' After Arrest Warrant

Police say surveillance backs parts of the complaint, with U.S. Marshals now pursuing his arrest.

Baltimore boxing champion Gervonta Davis leaves the Elijah Cummings Courthouse after his sentencing on charges stemming from a November 2020 hit-and-run crash that left four people injured. Davis received 90 days under house arrest, 200 hours of community service and three years probation after his house arrest.

Overview

  • Miami Gardens police issued an arrest warrant charging Davis with battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping tied to an Oct. 27 incident at a local club.
  • Detectives reported that video surveillance corroborates key elements of the accuser’s statement.
  • The Miami Gardens Police Department says it is working with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force to locate and apprehend Davis.
  • The WBA moved Davis to champion-in-recess status and its Championship Committee will consider ordering a lightweight title bout, with Floyd Schofield ranked No. 1 and Lucas Bahdi No. 2.
  • Ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel has filed a civil lawsuit over the alleged assault, and Davis has been inactive since a March 2025 draw as his planned November exhibition with Jake Paul was canceled and Anthony Joshua stepped in.
