Gevonta Davis Stripped of His Title


Last week an arrest warrant was issued for professional boxer Gervonta Davis after a woman accused him of holding her against her will and assault [click here if you missed that].

Now Gervonta has been stripped of his lightweight title...

From Fight News
The WBA has effectively stripped Gervonta “Tank” Davis of his active lightweight title, reclassifying him as their “Champion in Recess.” This decision was made due to his ongoing legal issues and inactivity in the ring.
The WBA’s decision was influenced by the issuance of an arrest warrant for Davis in Miami Gardens, Florida, related to an alleged domestic violence incident in October 2025.
The “Champion in Recess” designation is typically used when a champion is unable to defend their title due to injury or inactivity. While it removes him as the active champion, it allows him to retain his status and be eligible to compete for the crown upon his return to boxing.

He’s short, a boxer, and has a history of putting hands on his women so the abuse allegations are not a surprise.

Aren't you suppose to go to court before being treated like your guilty?
