Famed boxer Gervonta Davis faces accusations of attacking a woman in a strip club this week, according to a civil lawsuit.
The complainant alleges that the attack took place Monday, Oct. 27 at Tootsie’s Cabaret, a strip club in Miami Gardens where she is a VIP cocktail waitress.
The civil lawsuit against “Tank” Davis was filed in Miami-Dade County on Thursday, Oct. 30, accusing the boxer of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
According to a report from MMA Junkie, “the incident began at approximately 4:15 a.m., when Davis located the woman inside Tootsie’s in an upstairs VIP lounge, where Davis forcibly grabbed and dragged her through a stairway, through the kitchen, and through the back entrance all the way into the parking garage, according to the complaint. At that point, according to the complaint, Davis continuously grabbed, choked, pushed, pulled, and struck her in the back of the head, leaving her terrified and alone and embarrassed for her co-workers and employer, according to the complaint.
“The woman and Davis met in 2022 and had been intimately involved for five months before she said she was attacked in the club, according to the complaint.
“During those five months, Davis physically assaulted and choked her four times before the latest incident and on two occasions threatened in writing to kill her, according to the complaint.”
Gervonta Davis is scheduled to face Jake Paul in an exhibition bout on Nov. 14 in Miami.
