THIS is the shocking moment world champion boxer Gervonta Davis appears to grab the mother of his child by the neck before dragging her out of a venue.
A video has emerged of the 25-year-old furiously pulling Andretta Smothers out of her seat during a charity basketball game in Miami.
According to TMZ, the pair were arguing in public moments before Davis lost his cool and escorted her out.
Davis, a WBA lightweight champ, was forced to defend his actions on Instagram after a video of the incident went viral.
The American confirmed he “was aggressive” but wanted to reassure fans that he “would never hit her.”
A statement read: “I never once hit her.. year 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 trash.”
The crowd were obviously shocked by his actions as two members of security appeared to walk out with them.
Davis and Smothers are parents to daughter Gervanni Davis who was born in April 2018.
