WBA “regular” lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is a free man once again … he’s just been released from jail, TMZ Sports has confirmed. A Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services spokesperson said the star boxer got out of the Baltimore detention center Friday afternoon.
In celebration of the occasion, the 29-year-old took to his Twitter account to post a saluting emoji.
Davis had been behind bars due to his alleged role in a 2020 hit-and-run car crash … where he was accused of running a red light and slamming into a Toyota, before fleeing the scene.
Davis reached a plea deal with prosecutors in the case back in February — and was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest. But, on June 1, a judge ruled he had violated the conditions of his sentencing after officials said he moved two times without proper permission. He was then ordered to spend the remainder of his home detention in jail.
Tad mistake on his age but good for him!
Hopefully he learned this lesson, he is a talented fighter that could be better with a disciplined life.
He’s 29 and needs to stay out of jail. He’s got everything going for himself. This was 2020, not long ago. Let’s hope Davis can be smart enough to stay away from the bad crowd and problems. He’s got such promising career.
Run for your lives, the midget Tasmanian Devil is back on the loose.
This guy like so many good boxers is his own worst enemy.
C’mon Tank, rise above the bullshit and make better decisions. The boxing world needs what you bring.
What’s the over/under for when he gets arrested again? 1 year?
I thought the story would read that in celebration, he went out drinking and got pulled over for a DUI with a gun found under the front seat which wasn’t his.
