Allegations Against Gervonta Davis
In light of recent serious allegations of battery levied against Gervonta Davis, Jake Paul’s promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), has issued a statement regarding the upcoming match between the two fighters. Scheduled for November 14 in Miami, this highly anticipated boxing exhibition is now cast in uncertainty due to these accusations from one of Davis’s former partners.
Background on Gervonta Davis
Thirty-year-old Davis, who is undefeated and a champion in the lightweight division, has a complicated legal history that includes a recent domestic violence case involving his previous girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, which was dropped earlier this year. However, a new lawsuit has emerged from another ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, outlining multiple serious claims against him.
Details of the Lawsuit
According to a court document filed in Miami-Dade County, Rossel accuses Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and causing intentional emotional distress, related to an incident that transpired on October 27, 2025. The complaint details that Davis allegedly entered Rossel’s workplace and subjected her to physical assault, resulting in significant emotional and psychological trauma for Rossel.
MVP’s Response
In an announcement regarding the situation, MVP stated, “Upon learning of the civil lawsuit against Gervonta Davis, we promptly launched an investigation. We are currently in the process of gathering detailed information to carefully assess our next steps. We firmly denounce any violence and are committed to treating this matter with due diligence and respect for those involved. Further comments will be withheld until our review is complete.”
Upcoming Fight Details
Jake Paul, 28, is expected to face Davis at the Kaseya Center, with the event set to be streamed live on Netflix. The streaming platform has not commented on the allegations or the fight’s status.
Reactions and Future Implications
Davis, who last fought in March against Lamont Roach Jr., ended that match in a controversial draw, having taken a knee during the bout but not receiving a knockdown ruling. Following that fight, he had planned a rematch with Roach but has instead chosen to take on Paul this month. Reaction from Davis’s camp has been mixed; his coach, Calvin Ford, labeled the lawsuit as “nonsense” and stated that they were investigating the claims further, assuring that Davis is in good spirits amidst the turmoil. With such grave allegations now surfacing, the upcoming match faces an uncertain future.
