Gervonta “Tank” Davis is back in the headlines. And no, it’s not because of a knockout, it’s because he was released from prison on bail following an arrest tied to domestic violence allegations.
Tank was arrested, booked, and placed behind bars. Then came the magic word: bail after court appearance. Suddenly, the cell door opened. Just like that, he was free to go home. Not innocent, not cleared. Just temporarily released. Important difference.
The bail amount is reported to be $16,000. Davis is accused of assaulting and attempting to kidnap his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel. The incident took place on October 27, 2025, at a club where the victim worked as a waitress. Davis allegedly entered the woman’s workplace and used physical force against her.
And this is what Gervonta’s attorney Simon Steckel had to say.
Gervonta Davis is actually a victim here, and I look forward to establishing that shocking narrative in court.
The legal bout is on and we hope he gets out of this peacefully with his career intact.
Rossell and Davis met in 2022 and had been dating for five months before she claimed she was assaulted. During those months, the boxer physically abused her four times and threatened to kill her twice.
Tank is still one of boxing’s biggest stars, that hasn’t changed. What has changed is the patience of the public. Every incident chips away at it even knockouts can’t tape that up forever.
Now he’s out on bail, free, but not free-free. The legal clock is ticking, the ring will wait and the court won’t.
Tank can still punch his way into greatness but he can’t punch his way out of consequences. And right now, the fight he really needs to win isn’t scheduled for pay-per-view.
