Gervonta Davis is facing a new legal setback after a Maryland judge issued an active arrest warrant tied to an alleged probation violation, according to multiple reports.
The warrant stems from Davis’ ongoing probation connected to his 2020 hit-and-run case in Baltimore, in which several people were injured. Davis had previously pleaded guilty to multiple traffic-related offenses and remained under court supervision.
The latest development centers around an alleged October 2025 altercation at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, where Davis’ ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel worked as a VIP cocktail server. Rossel accused Davis of physically grabbing her and attempting to take her phone during a confrontation at the venue. Surveillance footage from the club was reportedly reviewed by investigators. The incident is alleged to have violated the terms of his probation.
Davis was arrested in Florida earlier this year on charges including battery and attempted kidnapping. A false imprisonment charge was eventually dropped, but other charges remain active.
A Maryland judge initially issued a warrant in February before recalling it after Davis’ legal team argued he was cooperating with authorities. A second warrant issued in April has remained active after a motion to dismiss it was denied in May.
Davis, 30-0-1 with 28 knockouts, has not fought since a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. in March 2025. A planned crossover fight with Jake Paul was scrapped following the civil lawsuit filed by Rossel. The active warrant creates further uncertainty around his boxing future.
