An hour after the alleged altercation between the unnamed woman and the boxer, Davis was arrested. The event was not the first time Davis has been arrested for domestic violence.
In 2020, the boxer was caught on video grabbing his ex-girlfriend (and the mother of his child) by the throat at a charity basketball game at the University of Miami. The shocking and disturbing video made its rounds on social media, which led to Davis turning himself over to authorities days later.
Davis was charged with domestic battery for the 2020 incident caught on camera. According to the arrest records, Davis' ex-girlfriend suffered an injury to her lip and jaw.
Davis was set to fight Hector Luis Garcia on January 7, 2023, in Washington D.C. It's unclear if the highly-anticipated event will move forward as scheduled.
Davis has 27 wins with zero losses and has held world championship titles in three weight classes.
