MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. — Newly released video shows what happened between boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis and an ex-girlfriend last year at a South Florida strip club, which led to criminal charges being filed against him.
Video from October 2025 shows a man who police said is Davis getting physical with the victim, Courtney Rossel, inside Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami Gardens where the victim was working.
In the video, Rossel is seen being grabbed by her head and forced toward a parking garage.
As the video continues, Davis continues to be aggressive with the victim as they move through the club.
“The victim reported that Mr. Davis grabbed her by the back of her head, pulled her hair with one hand and by her throat and forcefully escorted her down a stairway and toward the parking garage while maintaining his grip on the back of her head,” Miami Gardens police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty said.
Davis is facing multiple charges, including kidnapping, battery and attempted false imprisonment from the incident.
He has since bonded out of jail.
“What Mr. Davis did to Courtney was outrageous. And the judge agreed,” Rossel’s attorneys, Richard Wolfe and Jeff Chukwama, said in a statement. “This is not the first, second or the third time that Mr. Davis (has) acted in this manner.
“His defense team showed their desperation by attempting to attack Courtney, when the videos clearly showed what Courtney said, was truthful and consistent with her affidavit, the police arrest, and the incident report by her employer.
“We look forward to presenting our case to a jury.”
Davis is scheduled to be arraigned in Miami on Wednesday morning.
