Overview
- A civil lawsuit filed Oct. 30 in Miami-Dade by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel accuses Gervonta Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress tied to an alleged Oct. 27 incident at Tootsie’s Cabaret.
- The complaint describes Davis allegedly locating Rossel at her workplace, dragging her through restricted areas and into a garage, and repeatedly grabbing, choking, pushing, and striking her; Rossel seeks compensatory and punitive damages and a jury trial.
- Most Valuable Promotions said it has initiated an investigation and will decide next steps after its review, while condemning violence and keeping further comment on hold.
- Sports Illustrated reported that Netflix and Jake Paul’s representatives are exploring replacements, including an offer to Ryan Garcia for a December bout, though any switch remains unconfirmed and broadcaster contracts could complicate talks.
- As of Nov. 1, the Paul–Davis exhibition is still on the schedule but widely characterized as uncertain, Davis has not been charged in this case, and his trainer has publicly dismissed the lawsuit as “nonsense.”
