UNBEATEN world champion Gervonta Davis is facing seven years in prison after allegedly being involved in a hit-and-run crash.
The 26-year-old has been indicted on 14 different counts of traffic violations following an incident that occurred in Baltimore in November where he was celebrating his birthday.
According to TMZ Sports, Davis is claimed to have crashed his Lamborghini Urus into another car after running a red light following a night partying.
Four people in the Toyota he is said to have collided with while travelling westbound on Washington Boulevard were hospitalised.
It has then been stated that Davis and a female passenger swiftly left the scene where he was picked up in a black Camaro.
His case – which includes four counts of failure to immediately return and remain at the scene of accident involving bodily injury – was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore on Monday.
Should Davis be convicted on all 14 charges, he faces a potential maximum sentence of seven years and 55 days in prison.
The WBA lightweight champion and WBA super-featherweight king knocked out Leo Santa Cruz just days before the incident.
Prosecutors claim that they have obtained surveillance footage of the crash, with witnesses identifying the Lamborghini driver as Davis.
State Attorney Marilyn Mosby said: “Fortunately, the victims in this case were able to survive this alleged hit-and-run collision with recoverable injuries despite the potential for a far worst scenario.

“My office will continue to do our part to hold reckless drivers accountable when their harmful actions put innocent lives in jeopardy.”
Davis is no stranger to finding himself in trouble with the law, as last year he was charged with battery following an altercation with his ex-girlfriend.
The American handed himself into police after being seen to grab the throat of Andretta Smothers, the mother of his daughter, at a celebrity basketball game.
He has a history of violence and was previously arrested for a reported street fight in 2018.
