Gervonta Davis Facts
- Gervonta had started getting trained in boxing at the age of just 5. For most of his formative years, he had been trained by Calvin Ford who is the inspiration behind the character of Dennis ‘Cutty’ Wise in the American crime drama TV series, The Wire.
- In a prolific amateur career, Gervonta had won numerous titles including the 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship, 3 successive National Silver Gloves Championships (2006-2008), 2 ‘Gold’ medals at the National Junior Olympics, 2 National Police Athletic League Championships, and 2 Ringside World Championships. He had ended his amateur career with an incredible 206–15 win-loss record.
- In September 2018, he had been arrested in Washington, D.C. after he had started a fistfight with another man. The local police had stated that someone had tried to break up the fight after which both belligerents had tried to flee the scene before the police had arrived.
- In March 2024, he had been indicted on 14 counts after he had allegedly crossed a red light in downtown Baltimore. His Lamborghini SUV had then struck another car due to which 4 occupants of that car had to be admitted to the hospital. Gervonta had reportedly fled the scene in another car that had arrived there a few minutes later. The incident was headed for a jury trial in March 2024. A conviction on all counts could land him in prison for 7 years.
