BOXING star Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has reportedly been ordered to serve the remainder of his home detention in jail after being taken into custody.
Following an “impromptu hearing” yesterday – Gervonta Davis’ attorney Michael Tomko confirmed to The Baltimore Banner that his client was set to serve the rest of his sentence behind bars.
The boxer was initially set to serve a home detention for his involvement in a 2020 hit and run.
In February this year, Davis pleaded guilty to four offences relating to the incident three years ago, in which he smashed into a car carrying four people – including a pregnant woman.
He admitted to running a red light, driving with a revoked license, leaving an accident involving bodily injury and failing to notify of property damage.

DAZN slammed over ‘horrific’ Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia coverage
Boxing fans were left upset after DAZN’s coverage of the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight did not meet expectations.

They said: “We are aware that some customers are experiencing small
delays in accessing the PPV broadcast after buying it.

Gervonta Davis is turning into a mini-monster hell-bent on taking Mike Tyson’s tag
This is a comment piece by Colin Hart
Gervonta Davis is a tiny tearaway who is big trouble inside and outside the ring.
He is rapidly turning into a mini-monster who seems hell-bent on taking over Mike Tyson’s role as boxing’s “Baddest Man on the Planet.”
Davis is a ferocious punching pocket-battleship who fires explosive missiles with both hands.
It was obvious he was an exceptional talent to those fortunate to see him destroy Liam Walsh in less than three rounds when he defended his world super-featherweight crown at East London’s Copper Box, six years ago.
Since then, Davis has been arrested on numerous occasions for several offences including aggravated assault.
