New Video Shows Gervonta "Tank" Davis Allegedly Pushing His Ex-Girlfriend Down Stairs of a Miami Gardens Strip Club
Defense lawyers sought dismissal, but the judge said the case can proceed after TMZ Sports released video that appears to show the alleged attack.
- A judge refused to dismiss criminal charges against professional boxer Gervonta Davis on Wednesday, allowing the case involving an alleged assault on his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel at Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami Gardens to proceed.
- Prosecutors played video footage in court Tuesday showing Davis grabbing Rossel by the hair and throat inside the club, an encounter that led to criminal charges of battery and kidnapping.
- Defense attorney Simon Steckel claimed the case is an extortion attempt, alleging the victim demanded $1.1 million and spent nine hours with Davis after the incident, citing what he called "exculpatory evidence."
- Victim attorney Richard Wolfe denied extortion claims, stating Rossel was "scared like any other victim," while Davis filed a counterclaim last week seeking over $20 million related to his cancelled fight.
- The trial is set for May 26 as the WBA stripped Davis of his lightweight world title following the arrest warrant, adding professional consequences to the ongoing legal proceedings.
