Boxing Star Gervonta “Tank” Davis Arrested by U.S. Marshals in Miami
Miami, Florida — Professional boxing star Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the sport’s biggest names, was taken into custody in Miami on January 28, 2026, after a two-week law enforcement search that ended with U.S. Marshals and Miami Gardens police locating and arresting him without incident. The move marks one of the most serious legal confrontations of Davis’s career and has significant implications for his future in and out of the ring.
Charges and Alleged Incident
Davis, 31, faces multiple felony charges including battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping — all tied to an alleged October 27, 2025 incident at Tootsie’s Cabaret, a gentlemen’s club in Miami Gardens. According to police reports and victim statements, Davis is accused of physically assaulting a former girlfriend and forcefully escorting her toward a parking garage against her will before releasing her. Surveillance footage reportedly corroborated many elements of the victim’s account.
Law enforcement officials said a warrant for Davis’s arrest was issued earlier in January. After attempts to serve it, Miami Gardens Police and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force actively searched for him across multiple counties before locating him in the Miami Design District.
Arrest and Aftermath
Davis was taken into custody without resistance and booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami. He was later released on bond and seen departing the jail under escort. Despite the high-profile nature of his detention, no violent confrontation occurred during the arrest itself.
Impact on Career and Previous Legal Issues
The arrest comes amid a troubled legal period for Davis. It has already affected his boxing career — a scheduled fight with Jake Paul in November 2025 was canceled following legal actions, and his status as a WBA champion was downgraded amid the uncertainty surrounding his case and inactivity in the ring.
Davis’s legal history includes prior arrests and allegations, including domestic violence and other disputes in South Florida. Some of those past cases were dropped, but they have contributed to an ongoing narrative of off-ring issues that have shadowed his otherwise successful professional career.
Statements and Legal Defense
Davis’s attorney has publicly pushed back against the charges, describing his client as the actual victim in the situation and indicating plans to challenge the narrative in court. The defence has emphasized that more comprehensive context and evidence will emerge as proceedings continue.
Next Steps
Davis is expected to face formal prosecution and will appear in court as the case progresses. The bond conditions and potential penalties — if convicted — have not been fully detailed by prosecutors yet. Legal analysts note the case’s outcome could significantly shape the remainder of Davis’s athletic career.
