Gervonta Davis facing new civil suit over domestic allegations - ESPN

Gervonta «Tank» Davis has once again found himself in some considerable legal trouble, just two weeks before his exhibition fight with Jake Paul on Nov. 14.

A new civil lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County has put the WBA lightweight champion in hot water over another alleged domestic incident. According to the lawsuit acquired by ESPN, Davis is accused by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel of alleged battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

This lawsuit comes two months after Davis' previous domestic violence case was dropped by a different ex-girlfriend and the mother of two of the boxer's three children.

ESPN also confirmed with one of the woman's attorneys, Jeffery Chukwuma, that a police report was filed on Oct. 28 with Miami Gardens PD. Messages left with the Miami Gardens PD were not immediately returned to ESPN.

According to the complaint, Davis allegedly stormed into Tootsies, the Miami gentleman's where Rossel worked as a VIP cocktail waitress, in the early hours of Oct. 27 and attacked her inside of the club's VIP lounge. She says Davis dragged her through a stairwell, kitchen and the back exit before physically assaulting her in the parking garage.

Rossel said that she was in a five-month relationship with Davis prior to the incident and cited multiple instances of domestic violence, abuse, and threats made by the fighter concerning her safety and well-being. Rossel said in the lawsuit that there were «at least» four previous incidents where Davis «physically assaulted and choked» her. On two occasions, she says that Davis threatened to kill her.

The first of the incidents took place on Sept. 2, 2025, when Davis allegedly threatened to kill Rossel
