Via Sam Volz: Lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis was detained by police on Thursday for violating 90 days of house arrest. He has been under house arrest since last month.
It could be nearly two months in prison before Tank is freed and ready to resume his boxing career. It’s a good amount of time for a millionaire to spend behind bars. But this won’t be the first or last rich person to spend a long time in prison.
He has been under house arrest for 90 days, what some fans see as a slap on the wrist, due to an alleged car crash in November 2020, which left four people injured. , one of them is a pregnant woman.
WBALTV11 reports that Tank recently purchased a 5,000-square-foot penthouse this week in Baltimore. It is not known if he indulged in this beauty while breaching 90 days of house arrest.
With an apartment like that, it’s hard to imagine former world third-place champion Gervonta willingly leaving it to violate his home detention.
Tank doesn’t get much sympathy from boxing fans on social media, as they don’t feel bad for him, as he avoided prison in the first place by being placed under house arrest 90 days later. when convicted for his hit & run.
It’s hard to understand why Tank violated house arrest. Did he naively think they wouldn’t know about it, or was this a case of him not bearing the consequences?
In his final match, Tank Davis defeated Ryan Garcia by knockout in the seventh round on April 22. The tank hit Ryan in the seventh round, causing him to fall slowly and then score a knee.
Tank made a ton of money for his fight with Ryan, so it’s possible that money is burning a hole in his pocket, and he just needs to get out of the apartment to spend some of it.
We’ll see if this jail term affects Tank Davis’ career. His trainer Calvin Ford recently talked about wanting him to fight the next Devin Haney, and if not him, a rematch with Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.
Gervonta’s bet option for a big payday is to arrange a rematch with Ryan Garcia, but that won’t happen until Kingry gets some wins over a good opponent.
Boxing fans have criticized Davis for having a weak track record and trading off talented boxers like Shakur Stevenson, Vasyl Lomachenko, Haney and Frank Martin.
