by

Gervonta Davis is going to be fighting against Ryan Garcia later this year in what should be a huge fight. Firstly, he must take care of business on January 7th against Hector Luis Garcia. This is a match he is expected to win, however, this fight could now be in jeopardy.

According to TMZ, Davis was arrested for domestic violence last night, and as of right now, he is still in prison. Overall, he was hit with a battery domestic violence charge. This is certainly not good, and fans are now curious as to what this means for his future.

Gervonta Davis Updates

At the time of writing this, the allegations that led to Davis’ arrest have not been made public. However, it is known that Davis was arrested in Florida and is currently in Broward County. He ended up getting his mugshot taken, but very little else is known at this point.

For now, he is expected to post bail, although it has yet to happen just yet. It is an unfortunate situation all around, especially since Davis has been arrested for domestic violence before. In 2020, Davis was arrested after punching his ex-girlfriend while attending a sporting event.

If you are a longtime boxing fan, then you have certainly heard of Mills Lane. The man is a legend in the boxing world, and he is even in the Hall of Fame. Overall, the reason for this is simple. He was a referee for many years, and he was very well respected amongst his peers and other boxers.

Mills Lane Had An Amazing Resume

During his career, Lane got to officiate some truly memorable fights. Of course, the most iconic is the match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. This is where Tyson ended up biting Holyfield’s ear off in a truly gross display of aggression.

While speaking about his father to ESPN, Terry Lane revealed just how amazing of a father Mills was. He spoke about his dad’s soft side and that people truly looked up to him and respected him.

“The past 20 years after the stroke were pretty tough, to be honest,” Lane said. “… We’re relieved of the outpouring of support. He was just this really amazing father and husband and I don’t know if people got to see that kind and sensitive side of him. My mom took care of him since the stroke; he never spent one night in a nursing home. I don’t know if Dec. 6 is my dad’s date of death or a new life for her.”

RIP Mills Lane.
