The manhunt for boxing champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis is over.

A fugitive task force took Davis into custody on Wednesday in Miami’s Design District, according to a social media post by Miami Gardens police, two weeks after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Police said the charges stemmed from an incident at a Miami Gardens business on Oct. 27, 2025. Davis' ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, filed a civil suit in Miami alleging that Davis beat her at her place of employment earlier this week.

Rossel claimed that Davis stormed into a gentlemen's club where she worked as a VIP cocktail server and attacked her in a back room that did not have cameras. Davis is alleged to have dragged Rossel through a stairwell, kitchen and back exit before assaulting her in a parking garage.

Rossel, who was in a five-month relationship with Davis before the incident, claims there have been multiple other assaults, saying Davis has "physically assaulted and choked" her "at least" four times.

She also claimed that Davis, in writing, threatened to kill her twice in September.

Representatives for Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The boxer had been scheduled to fight Jake Paul in November, but the match was canceled after the lawsuit was filed against Davis. Upon the fight's cancellation, Paul shredded Davis as "an actual walking human piece of garbage."
