Gervonta Davis appears on video to get physical with mother of his child

Gervonta Davis is in the news for the wrong reasons again.

Davis was caught on video apparently getting physical with the mother of his child at a charity basketball game in Miami on Saturday, according to TMZ. Witnesses told TMZ that the unbeaten lightweight titleholder and the woman — identified as Andretta Smothers by multiple websites — were arguing when the altercation became physical.

Davis appears to grab the woman near her throat and lead her away. He later acknowledged on Instagram that he became aggressive but denied that he struck her.

“I never once hit her . . yea I was aggressive and told her come on . . . that’s the mother of my child I would never hurt her other than that happy New Years . . January was trassshhhhh”

TMZ reported that Davis and the woman were escorted out of the arena but no arrests were made.

Davis, 25, was charged with assault after allegedly punching a childhood friend in 2017 but charges were dropped. The following year he faced charges in two separate fighting incidents.
