Overview
- Courtney Rossel filed a civil suit on Oct. 30 in Miami-Dade accusing Gervonta Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- The complaint alleges an Oct. 27 incident at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami Gardens, saying Davis dragged, choked and struck her, and cites prior assaults and written death threats during a 2022 relationship.
- Rossel’s attorneys say a report was filed with Miami Gardens police, who are investigating and working to obtain the club’s security footage.
- Davis’ side has dismissed the suit, with trainer Calvin Ford calling it “nonsense” and saying Davis continues to train for the scheduled Nov. 14 exhibition.
- Sources told Sports Illustrated that Netflix and Jake Paul are exploring replacement opponents, and Paul’s team has extended an offer to Ryan Garcia for a December bout as the Nov. 14 headliner remains uncertain.
