Boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis continued his rapid ascension with a convincing victory over Hector Luis Garcia early Sunday morning.
Issues outside the ring accompanied Davis to the District. The latest stems from his arrest Dec. 27 in Parkland, Fla., for allegedly striking a woman on the right side of her head, according to an incident report from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Released Dec. 28 on $1,000 bail, Davis denied the charges in a since deleted social media post. Two days later Vanessa Posso, the previously unnamed alleged victim and mother of Davis’s daughter, released a statement on social media refuting claims of domestic violence The former unified super lightweight champion born in the nation’s capital retired in March 2019 and turned to training his younger brother before electing to fight again on Saturday’s card against journeyman Michael Ogundo.
In December 2011 Peterson upset Amir Khan via a 12-round split decision to claim the WBA and IBF super lightweight titles at Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Davis attended that fight as a guest of Peterson’s and has credited the opportunity to hold those championship belts as motivation for his career.
