Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis turned himself in to police after a viral video showed him assaulting his ex-girlfriend in Florida.
The WBA Super Featherweight Champion has been charged with simple battery and domestic violence following video that shows the 25-year-old having an argument with the mother of his daughter during a charity basketball game last Sunday.
The video shows him confronting the seated woman, snatching her by the arm, and then walking her out of the arena.
