Gervonta “Tank” Davis may be undefeated inside the ring, but outside of it, the Baltimore boxing champion just can’t seem to stay out of the judge’s crosshairs. A Maryland arrest warrant signed on April 24 is now officially active — and this one isn’t going away.
The Violation That Started It All: Miami Strip Club Drama
The latest legal headache traces back to the early morning hours of October 27, 2025, when Davis allegedly put his hands on his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, where she was working as a cocktail server. According to authorities, Tank forcibly grabbed Rossel by the neck and physically dragged her through the club against her will before she managed to escape — and surveillance footage reportedly backs up her account.
Davis was eventually tracked down by the Miami Gardens Police Department working alongside the U.S. Marshals fugitive task force, which conducted a three-county surveillance operation before taking him into custody in the Miami Design District. He was released the same day after posting an $8,500 bond and was ordered to have no contact with Rossel. He currently faces felony kidnapping and misdemeanor battery charges out of Florida.
A Rap Sheet That Keeps Growing: The Hit-And-Run That Won’t Go Away
The Maryland probation violation stems from a case that’s been haunting Tank for years. Davis has been on probation since 2023, when he pleaded guilty to a November 2020 hit-and-run in Baltimore that injured four people. He was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest, three years of probation, and 200 hours of community service — and later served 44 days in jail after violating his home detention terms.
It gets worse. Judge Handy later ordered Davis taken into immediate custody after learning he had been serving his house arrest sentence at a Four Seasons Hotel and a $3.4 million penthouse condo. And the judge’s words at a prior hearing still ring loud: “I don’t like sending anyone to jail, sir. I really don’t. But you need to wake up,” Handy told him directly.
He Dodged It Once — Not This Time
Earlier this year, Davis’ legal team successfully argued their way out of a February warrant. Davis’ attorney Hunter Pruette asked the judge to withdraw the arrest warrant in favor of GPS monitoring, and the prosecution did not oppose the request. “We’re thankful the court recalled the warrant,” Pruette said. “Mr. Davis remains compliant and will continue to appear as required.”
But that reprieve was short-lived. Less than three months later, a Baltimore judge signed off on a brand new warrant on April 24 — and this one stuck. Tank Davis is officially a wanted man in Maryland.
What’s Next for Tank?
Davis’ coach Calvin Ford has remained publicly optimistic about a boxing comeback, saying, “He ain’t gone nowhere. Tank is still here… He will be back in the mix. Y’all got to remember Tank been doing this since he was seven years old. Sometimes you need that reset.”
But with an active arrest warrant, open felony charges in Florida, and a probation history that reads like a highlight reel of bad decisions, the clock is ticking for one of boxing’s most gifted — and most troubled — stars. Stay tuned.
