MIAMI — Boxer Gervonta Davis, who was recently hit with an arrest warrant stemming from accusations of domestic violence in Miami Gardens, has, since November, also been avoiding being served with a civil lawsuit regarding the same issue.

The suit alleges that on Oct. 27, 2025, Davis ― known by the nickname “Tank” ― went to his ex-girlfriend’s workplace, the popular strip club Tootsie’s, and grabbed, choked and dragged her through a stairwell and kitchen into a parking garage.

Courtney Rossel claims that Davis, 31, hit her in the back of the head and tried to force her into his car before she escaped.

Rossel’s complaint, filed three days after the alleged incident, claims battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

A Jan. 6 filing by Rosell’s lawyer indicates that process servers made five unsuccessful attempts to serve Davis with the suit at his home. They said his previous attorneys, as well as a business manager and a publicist, would not accept service or provide information about his whereabouts.

As of Monday, Miami Gardens police and U.S. Marshals were still looking for Davis.
