World Champion Boxer Accused Of Assault At Tysons Mall

TYSONS, VA—A Fairfax County magistrate issued a warrant for two-time world champion boxer Gervonta Davis relating to an alleged assault at a Tysons mall.

According to police, the assault happened Feb. 17 at Tysons Galleria. Police responded to the mall but did not witness the assault, The Washington Post reported. For that reason, the victim had to report his story to the magistrate for Davis to be charged. Davis and the victim did not know each other.

On Feb. 27, the magistrate issued the warrant charging Davis with assault, a misdemeanor. Police have unsuccessfully attempted to contact Davis to serve the warrant.

A representative for Davis did not comment, according to the Baltimore Sun. Davis took to Twitter to respond when TMZ broke the news.

Davis, who has held the World Boxing Association super featherweight title, was also charged for a fight last fall in DC.
