Gervonta Davis arrest warrant issued after Jake Paul’s fall
Published
2 months agoon
An arrest warrant has been issued for boxing sensation Gervonta “Tank” Davis in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident that occurred last October, which led to the cancellation of the WBA lightweight champion’s exhibition fight against Jake Paul. The charges include false imprisonment, battery and attempted kidnapping following accusations made by a former girlfriend.
Emmanuel Jeanty, executive officer of the Miami Gardens Police Department in Florida, confirmed he is working with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force to locate Davis. “At this time, the Miami Gardens Police Department is actively working with the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force to locate and apprehend Mr. Davis,” Jeanty said. “Domestic violence is a stern crime, and the Miami Gardens Police Department continues to strive to hold perpetrators accountable and protect victims.”
The lawsuit alleges that on October 27, Davis attacked his former partner Courtney Rossel at her workplace and had previously threatened to kill her. Ms. Rossel also claims that Davis “physically assaulted and choked” her on at least four occasions. He is seeking $50,000 in damages and a jury trial. Police said surveillance footage corroborated the victim’s account
“The investigation revealed that Mr. Davis used force in an attempt to remove the victim from the scene against his will,” Jeanty added. “What the police said is exactly in line with our lawsuit.
“So whatever investigation they did, they felt it was enough for the judge to sign the arrest warrant,” Jeff Chukwuma, Rossel’s lawyer, told ESPN. “The state’s attorney had to make a decision earlier on exactly what our civil complaint covered.”
Paul and Davis were scheduled to face in an exhibition match in Miami on November 14, despite the difference in weight classes, with Davis being a lightweight and Paul a cruiserweight. The fight was not just for show, but was to be declared the winner either by stoppage or by two judges and an AI official if the fight went the distance.
However, after filing a lawsuit, Most Valuable Promotions decided to find a up-to-date opponent for Paul, who turned out to be Anthony Joshua. At the time of the cancellation, Paul vented his frustration on social media: “He is an absolute nightmare to work with.
“Unprofessionalism, outlandish requests, being several hours tardy for shoots. To numerous arrests and related charges and lawsuits. If you support this man, you are supporting the most heinous sin a person can commit… I am deeply sorry to everyone involved.”
In case his fight with Davis ends in failure, Paul has booked a December date in Miami as a backup. After several calls, British boxing legend Joshua responded to the American’s challenge. AJ finally knocked Paul down in the sixth round after knocking him down twice in the previous round. The former Disney star suffered a broken jaw in two places.

Jarrell Miller boldly predicts the Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora fight

Jarrell Miller shared his thoughts on the course of the blockbuster fight between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora.
Wilder will face Chisora on April 4 at the O2 Arena and Miller has revealed who he thinks has the advantage.
April 4 marks the 50th fight of the careers of “The Bronze Bomber” and “Del Boy,” and the loser will likely retire.
Miller spoke to Up-to-date Betting Offers and honestly admitted that the threat from Wilder has diminished in recent years.
“Deontay’s skills deteriorated when he changed coaches.
“I feel like if Wilder stuck to his name, being a wild man and fighting wild and doing wild shit, he would still be a guy who is threatening.
“But when you try to tame the beast and become a boxer, he’s not a boxer. He’s never been through boxing the conventional way, and now you’re trying to change his style. It’s not working for him.
“Style makes fights, and Chisora has a style that definitely hurts him.”
Before his trilogy with Tyson Fury, “The Bronze Bomber” had a staggering record of 40 wins, 39 of which came by stoppage.
However, he has emerged as a different fighter in recent years, looking timid in back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang on Riyadh Season shows.
He last appeared on the field in June 2025, when he stopped Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round.

Miller continued and talked about the skills Chisora possesses that could lead him to a huge victory in what he promises will be the last fight of his career.
“Chisora is one of those guys who is so sturdy.
“He is very powerful mentally. He has a physically fit engine.
“He may look tired, but he can still fight. Deontay I can’t fight tired, not like this Chisora yes.

“So I think Chisora is in it. The best man wins, but I think Chisora will get him.”
Chisora is on a three-fight winning streak following his loss to Tyson Fury in 2022.
He went the distance in all three contests, scoring unanimous victories over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin in the final stoppage.

On Sunday, Jai Opetaia will make his Zuffa Boxing debut in a fight against Brandon Glanton.
Opetaia enters the fight against Glanton undefeated.
Since turning professional in 2015, the Australian has dominated with 23 stoppage victories.
His last three fights have been in his native Australia, all three of them competitions ending before the start of the ninth round.
The Australian defeated former unified cruiserweight world champion Mairis Briedis in 2022.
Opetaia really made his mark on the world stage with a series of victories on the season’s card in Riyad, including victories over Ellis Zorro, Briedis in the return and Jack Massey, whose team were forced to throw in the towel.
His name has also made headlines after recently signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing after years of working with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.
Opetaia currently holds the IBF and Ring Magazine world cruiserweight titles.

Despite holding the IBF belt, he will not be on the line with Glanton as the pair will instead fight for the Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight crown.
Glanton comes into the competition off the back of a massive win over Marcus Browne last year in Lagos, Nigeria.
Before Browne’s victory, Glanton was outpointed by Chris Billam-Smith on the undercard of the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

- The pair will fight on Sunday, March 8 at the Meta APEX Arena in Las Vegas.

Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Nunez – results and post-fight report
Published
1 week agoon
March 1, 2026
Emanuel Navarrete became the unified super featherweight champion, adding the IBF title to his WBO belt by defeating Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez in the penultimate round on Saturday at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The heavy-hitting Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KO) was previously the WBO champion in three different weight classes, but he failed to claim the WBO lightweight title and belt in a fourth different weight class after losing a split decision to Denys Berinchyk. Nunez (29-2, 27 KO) had to go out of shape in the seventh round before claiming a wide points victory in his first defense against Christopher Diaz.
Nunez started by using his boxing skills rather than his trade, and used the move to cause his compatriot to miss in the first round.
Navarrete quickly adjusted, closing the gap with a powerful punch to end the streak of a wobbly Nunez delayed in the round.
Most expected “Sugar” to shoot, but he preferred boxing and worked his jab in the fourth round.
The 28-year-old then decided to change it in the fifth set and fought with fire, and in the sixth, Navarrete landed some great body shots and a powerful right hand.
Nunez gradually got into an argument, but had to take bulky fire from his opponent and bravely performed well in the eighth quarter, reducing the advantage and moving to the body.
“Vaquero” followed with a great left hand in the ninth and a powerful right followed by an uppercut that left Nunez at sea, eyes closed due to injuries.

The Sinaloa resident was re-attached to the left hook as the writing appeared on the wall.
Nunez now wilted under the pressure, and after a punishing 10th place his promoter Eddie Hearn he pleaded for the fight to be stopped and a ringside doctor was called to check his eye.
He recommended that the competition be stopped and the fight ended, crowning Navarrete the unified champion.
Vargas stops Quintana
On the card, Emiliano Vargas defended his WBO Latino and NABF super lightweight titles, forcing Argentine Agustin Ezequiel Quintana to retire after nine rounds of the fight.
Quintana (22-3-1, 13 KO) gave Vargas (17-0, 14 KO) all he could handle, but was cut down in both eyes, with referee Raul Caiz Jr waving his hand against the fight, much to the Argentine’s protests.
Smalls defeated by Ramos
Tahmir Smalls suffered his first defeat as a professional, losing a split decision to Abel Ramos in their welterweight meeting.
Ramos (29-7-3, 22 KO) earned a deserved victory by scores of 98-92 and 97-93, while the third judge awarded Smalls (16-1, 11 KO) a barely deserved nod 96-94.
Undercard remaining
WBC Continental Americas super bantamweight champion Arturo Cardenas (17-0-2, 9 KO) defended his title, but after ten rounds he drew with Jordan Martinez, who also remained undefeated.
Martinez (16-0-1, 15 KO) received a verdict of 98-92, Cardenas had one score of 96-94 and the third judge ruled it a draw 95-95.

The only fighter to go eight rounds won the super lightweight division, where Trini Ochoa (21-1, 9 KO) was upset by Oscar Alvarez Guerrero.
Guerrero (15-2, 12 KO) secured a comfortable winner with two scores of 78-74 and the third 79-73.
In six-round fights, Hector Beltran (7-0, 5 KO) fought all six sessions against Cesar Diaz (10-2, 5 KO) at super welterweight, and in the bantamweight division, Phillip Vela (5-0, 2 KO) did the same against Brayan Ramos Armenta (8-8-1, 2 KO).
Rahman Muhammad (2-0, 2 KO) defeated Mitchell McFadden (1-1, 1 KO) in the second round in a four-round welterweight fight.
