Report: Tank Davis in jail

The Baltimore Banner is reporting that boxing superstar and WBA regular lightweight title holder Gervonta “Tank” Davis was taken into custody in his home town of Baltimore on Thursday. Davis had previously been sentenced to three months of house arrest due to his role in a hit-and-run car crash. UPDATE: A second report from the Baltimore Banner confirmed that Davis was ordered to serve the remainder of the three months in jail, due to a failure on Davis' part to honor the terms of his home detention. Davis was supposed to remain confined to his trainer, Calvin Ford's home in Baltimore, but he apparently visited a Florida luxury hotel and his own condominium. The former 130-poundchampion could be behind bars through the first week of August.

The underlying hit-and-run incident reportedly resulted in four injuries, including to a pregnant woman. It occurred in late 2020, with Davis later pleading guilty to four traffic offenses.
