“Hope for Redemption”:Gervonta Davis is expected to appear in court on July 29, where he will face formal proceedingsn Bai Amid Domestic Violence Allegationsa

The 29-year-old undefeated boxer was arrested on the morning of July 11, 2025, in Miami Beach. A license plate reader flagged his vehicle, leading to his apprehension. The arrest stemmed from an incident that reportedly occurred on Father’s Day, June 15, in Doral, Florida, involving the mother of his children.

According to the police report, Davis allegedly struck his ex-girlfriend during a heated exchange, a claim supported by video evidence provided by the woman’s mother. Davis was booked and later released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center after posting bail.

Supporters Call for Healing

Supporters and fans have taken to social media to express their mixed emotions — disappointment, compassion, and hope that Davis takes the opportunity to reflect, seek help if needed, and make amends. One fan wrote:

“He’s got a lot to answer for, but I’m also praying this is the wake-up call he needs to fix what’s broken in his life.”

Even Lamont Roach Jr., Davis’s potential opponent in an August rematch, showed maturity and restraint in a public statement:

“I don’t wish jail on anybody. I just hope it’s not true, and he finds peace.

Davis is expected to appear in court on July 29, where he will face formal proceedings. As of now, there’s been no announcement on whether his scheduled August 16 fight will go ahead.

Why Would I Leave My Mum For Some Girl?”A J”opens up on his love life and warns future girlfriends ‘you’ll marry my family’ as he claims he STILL lives with his mum at 34

Anthony Joshua has revealed why he still lives with his mother at the age of 34, insisting that any future partner would struggle to convince him to move out

Joshua, who moved back into his mother’s two bedroom ex-council flat in 2017 after earning an estimated £15million from defeating Wladimir Klitschko, beat Robert Helenius in August and is on the hunt for his next fight ahead of 2024.

The British boxer sat down with Louis Theroux to discuss his close relationship with his family and warned future girlfriends they’ll need to compete with his mum, Yeta Odusanya.

‘I still live with my mum,’ the two-time world champion told the BBC. ‘In our culture, we grew up in our own family home, we support our parents.

Why am I going to move out and leave my mum by herself, for some girl? Family is the most important thing.

‘When a girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she’s marrying my family.’

The grounded boxing star, who is not publicly in a relationship, admitted that he likes to keep his personal life private as he cannot live up to the expectations people have of him.

He continued: ‘Are we going to dissect everything I say and use it as a narrative to create a story? That’s why I keep myself to myself.

‘You put all this pressure on yourself to come and be this big star and be perfect.

‘I’m telling you, they’ll pull you down. The higher you are, the bigger the drop.’

Joshua was previously in an on-off relationship with the mother of his child, former school friend Nicole Osbourne, whom he once bought a £500,000 flat not far from his home.

In April, the heavyweight fighter called Laura Woods his ‘dream date’ in a flirty interview with the presenter after his comeback win over Jermaine Franklin.

Woods, who is now dating former Love Island star Adam Collard, asked Joshua what he thought of his career so far and the boxer replied: ‘I think it’s blossomed amazingly, just like you.’

The flirty exchange continued as Joshua joked that former Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek had ‘beaten him to it’ by naming Woods as his crush.

When the popular presenter asked who his dream date was, AJ said: You. I know Loftus Cheek has beaten me to it!’

Woods then joked that there’s no competition between the sportsmen before asking him about his current relationship status.

Joshua said: ‘With boxing I didn’t want to commit because I didn’t want to go training and then I’m busy arguing with my Mrs or something and my head’s not in the game.

‘So I just decided to keep my head where it needs to be. I’ve seen good relationships and bad ones.’

For now, Joshua has been making the most of his recovery period after jetting off on luxury trips to Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Oman.

He had flown out to Ghana to watch Khan’s first-ever show as a promoter and looked to be on good terms with the 38-year-old despite their past spat.

The meeting came almost a decade after Khan took to social media to post several explosive tweets alleging Faryal Makhdoom had cheated on him with Joshua.

Khan had also revealed he and his wife were getting a divorce.

‘So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best,’ Khan wrote in 2017. ‘Faryal moved on quick.

‘Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer @AnthonyFJoshua.

‘Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain’t the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men you’re talking to #Disgusted.

‘Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt but another fighter. I’m making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.

‘Mans like Joshua can have my leftovers!’

Anthony joshua

In response, Joshua rubbished the allegations by sharing a video of Shaggy’s hit ‘It Wasn’t Me’ and adding: ‘Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met!’

A few months later, Khan appeared to have patched up his feud with Joshua.

How Claressa Shields, Terence Crawford And More Split Reaction to Katie Taylor’s Majority Decision Over Amanda Serrano In Their Trilogy Fight

The boxing world erupted with divided opinions following Katie Taylor’s majority decision victory over Amanda Serrano in their long-anticipated trilogy bout. The historic clash, which took place in front of a roaring crowd, was every bit as dramatic and fiercely competitive as expected—but the decision has sparked heated debate among fans, analysts, and even fellow boxing champions.

Among the most vocal were elite fighters like Claressa Shields and Terence Crawford, who took to social media to express their thoughts on what many are calling one of the most controversial outcomes in recent women’s boxing history.

For the third time in their rivalry, Katie Taylor found a way to produce a points victory over Amanda Serrano.

After notching a split-decision win in their first fight back in April 2022 and a unanimous decision clouded in controversy in the November rematch, the Irish superstar defended her undisputed super lightweight world championship with a majority decision over her rival Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Terence Crawford

Taylor ending the trilogy and rivalry with a 3-0 sweep of Serrano set off waves of reaction with everyone from Claressa Shields to Terence Crawford and Eddie Hearn weighing in:

The official decision saw Katie Taylor winning by majority decision with two judges scoring it in her favor and one scoring it a draw. For Taylor, the win not only secured her status in the trilogy but also reaffirmed her place as one of the greatest female fighters in boxing history. Serrano, however, walked away with a performance that further cemented her legacy—regardless of the result.

Will we see a fourth fight? With both legacies now intertwined, the boxing world would surely welcome one more chapter.

Over Domestic Violence, Deontay Wilder’s fiancée “Telli Swift” Receives Temporary Restraining Order Over Domestic Violence Allegations, Per Reports

Telli Swift, the fiancée of Deontay Wilder, was granted a temporary restraining order against the former heavyweight champion boxer due to a litany of domestic violence allegations, according to TMZ and USA Today.

Swift reportedly applied for the TRO in Los Angeles last week and was granted it by a judge on Monday. The order requires Wilder to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift and their daughter and will remain in effect until June 25, when the two parties are scheduled to appear before a judge.

In the application, Swift — who has been in a relationship with Wilder since 2015 and got engaged to him in 2018 — reportedly accuses Wilder of choking her at least five times since 2018, once in front of their daughter and her son, and slamming her son’s head against a car.

She also reportedly claims Wilder took her laptop without her consent and sent disturbing messages to her contacts, used their home surveillance system to spy on her and threw her out of their Atlanta residence in April despite her having recently undergone invasive surgery. That’s in addition to allegedly ridiculing her constantly, threatening to destroy her belongings and expecting intercourse “three times a day.”

Swift was apparently frightened that Wilder could become violent when he returned home after his fight in Saudi Arabia last Saturday. Via TMZ:

“I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past,” she said.

She also believes his mental health has deteriorated alongside his career since his losses to Tyson Fury, via USA

At that point, he struggled to get fights that could advance his career and he was emotionally unstable,’’ Swift said in the request for a restraining order. “He would cry and yell often in our home.’’

Since losing to Joseph Parker in December, Swift said, “Deontay has been more emotionally abusive to me than anytime in the past. I have been suffering in silence despite Deontay becoming increasingly aggressive and controlling, because I did not want him to experience any further mental health struggles.’’

It’s worth noting that the process to obtain a temporary restraining order in California essentially consists of one party filing a statement about why they think the other is a threat and a judge granting it based on what the filer claims. The subject of the temporary restraining order, in this case Wilder, does not need to be present for the initial filing, only for the subsequent court date in which he may argue his case.

Recently, During An Interview, Jake Paul reveals conversations with Anthony Joshua as promoter confesses truth about fight

After defeating Mike Tyson in November 2024 and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June this year, the influencer turned professional boxer is starting to look towards his next big challenge

Although a possible title fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez is still in the works, another matchup that has caught the eye is a potential clash with former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Recently, during an interview, Jake Paul revealed details of his private exchange of messages with Anthony Joshua, where, according to Paul, the Briton confirmed his interest in fighting, but not immediately:

He just said he’s going to do two more fights, and then we do it in 2026. But he’s willing

Who will be Jake Paul’s next opponent?

This is not the first time Paul has mentioned Joshua, as on his podcast last March, the YouTuber dared to say that he could defeat the former champion: “He has no jaw, no skills and is stiff”. Then, in April, he claimed that Joshua had responded: “I saw you challenged me. Let’s make it happen”.

Paul, 28, insists that fight will happen if the fight with Gilberto Ramirez does not materialize. The American currently ranks 14th in the WBA rankings at cruiserweight, although his inclusion has generated controversy within the organization.

When is Anthony Joshua’s next fight?

Despite Jake Paul’s claims, there is no official confirmation from Anthony Joshua’s camp about this fight. The Briton’s promoter, in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, was clear on the matter: “I think there’s a possibility of seeing Anthony Joshua this year… but it won’t be against Jake Paul.”

He also suggested that Paul is taking advantage of Joshua‘s name for media purposes: “If I was Anthony Joshua and I was being offered to fight someone who a few years ago was a Disney star… he’s not anymore”.

Therefore, at least for now, the possible fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua seems to be more in the realm of speculation than reality.

Joshua is currently recovering from elbow surgery following his defeat to Daniel Dubois. His return to the ring is expected in late 2025, although an opponent has yet to be confirmed.

Joseph Parker: Former WBO Heavyweight Champion And Current Interim Champion Joseph Parker Aims To Seek Revenge For Anthony Joshua’s 2018 Defeat.

Former WBO heavyweight champion and current interim champion Joseph Parker revealed that he would prefer to avenge his defeat against Anthony Joshua in 2018.

Anthony Joshua, who recently announced that he willthat he return to the ring in December 2025, has not fought since his defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September 2024, where he sustained injuries.

The British boxer was planning to make a comeback in the summer, but his elbow injury delayed his plans. Now, following his successful elbow injury, his promoter Eddie Hearn has said that Joshua will return to the ring at the end of the year.

Speaking in an interview, when Parker was asked about the fight he would like most, he named Joshua, who beat him back in 2018.

“I would most like to avenge the AJ fight because back in 2018 I was a very different fighter to the fighter I am now, and AJ is a different fighter as well. He’s been the poster boy for boxing, and he’s brought a lot of attention to boxing, and I’d like to avenge that loss. I would love the opportunity to fight Joshua,” Parker said.

“I think he’s had some surgery, and he’s looking to come back again, so if that opportunity arises, I’ll take it with both hands, and it’ll be a great fight. If he’s still motivated and passionate about boxing, he should keep going. If that’s what he wants to do. He’s still got a lot to give.”

Parker is currently the interim WBO strap holder and is aiming for a world title, and Joshua is looking for a comeback, so the fight may benefit both parties.

Andy Ruiz Jr Hints At Comeback With Lean Physique As The Former Anthony Joshua Conqueror – Flaunts Stunning Body Transformation.

EX-HEAVYWEIGHT champion Andy Ruiz Jr looks like a new man as he continues his drastic body transformation.

Ruiz Jr shocked the world six years ago when he stopped Anthony Joshua in the seventh round of their Madison Square Garden melee to become the first Mexican-born heavyweight champion.

The then 19-stone ‘Destroyer’ was soft around the edges, to say the least, as he scored one of the biggest upsets in modern-day boxing history.

He ballooned to over 20 STONE for their rematch in Saudi Arabia in December 2019, which he lost via unanimous decision.

Ruiz Jr demanded an immediate trilogy fight, saying: “I don’t want to say the three months of partying or celebrating didn’t affect me.

“As to tell you the truth, it kind of did.

“There’s no excuses, the partying got the best of me. The next fight is going to be a lot different.

The former champion has slowly but surely been chipping away at his frame with intense training and strict dieting.

And he’s now sporting an almost unrecognisable physique from the one he first fought Joshua in.

On Wednesday, the 35-year-old posted a mirror selfie of his much trimmer frame, which struggled to keep his shorts up.

His accompanying caption read: “The diet is hard. Slowly but surely. [A] work in progress.”

 Joe Rogan Leaks The Biggest Insane Pay Ever For Oleksandr Usyk & Daniel Dubois Will Make For Boxing Rematch

UFC commentator and world-renowned podcaster, Joe Rogan, has leaked the extraordinary wad of cash Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are set to receive for their upcoming heavyweight boxing fight.

Usyk and Dubois fought once before, with the Brit famously dropping the unbeaten two-weight champion with a body shot that the referee adjudged to have been too low of a blow to count as a knockdown, before Usyk, who had a timeout to recover, rallied and won via ninth-round stoppage in 2023

Since then, Usyk has won back-to-back bouts against Tyson Fury, while Dubois enjoyed an incredible resurgence thanks to briliant wins over Filip Hrgovic, Jarrell Miller, and Anthony Joshua.

Their rematch takes place on the 19th of July at Wembley Stadium in London and both fighters will bring their respective world titles to the ring in an undisputed championship fight. While the pay was always expected to be high, Rogan’s comments underline just how handsomely the elite in boxing get rewarded for their talents.

Rogan leaked the pay during a conversation with UFC stars Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.

“Bro, did you see the numbers that Usyk and Dubois are getting?” Rogan said.

READ MORE :Expect More “KO” As Anthony Joshua Conqueror Teases

He then revealed that Usyk stands to pocket $132 million, while Dubois will take $71 million to the bank, with both payments totaling $199 million — $1 million shy of previously-reported figures suggesting both fighters, combined, were always expected to make $200 million. It’s unclear, exactly, where Rogan has seen the breakdown.

Anthony joshua

“$132 million! $132 million and $71 million!”

“Yeah, look at the numbers. $132 million and $71 million. Yo! Yo, that’s crazy! Numbers for purses.”

The figures, if accurate, dwarf the pay that UFC fighters receive as champions as they rarely make eight figures, let alone nine. However, for boxing’s biggest bouts, we’ve seen time and again that there are boxers who command insane purses.

GIVE ME SPORT understands, for example, that Top Rank fighter Tyson Fury made more than $200 million for two Riyadh Season fights.

Floyd Mayweather made more than $200 million on two separate occasions in his career — against Manny Pacquiao, and Conor McGregor.

British Boxing Standout  Sunny Edwards Picks Out Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis As His Other Favourite Current Boxer

British boxing standout Sunny Edwards has revealed his admiration for one of the sport’s most electrifying talents — Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. Known for his slick footwork, defensive genius, and outspoken personality, Edwards has never been shy about sharing his opinions. But when it comes to Davis, the usually brash Brit shows nothing but respect.

In a recent interview, Edwards named the undefeated American knockout artist as one of his favorite current fighters. “I love watching Tank fight,” Edwards said. “He’s one of the most explosive fighters in the game right now. He carries real power, but he’s also smart. People don’t give him enough credit for how intelligent he is in the ring.”

Gervonta Davis, who boasts an impressive undefeated record with the majority of his wins coming by way of knockout, has quickly established himself as a superstar in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions. His highlight-reel knockouts and ability to pull massive crowds have made him one of boxing’s must-see attractions — and clearly, Edwards is paying close attention.

While the two operate in different weight classes, Edwards competing at flyweight and Davis at lightweight/super lightweight, the mutual respect underscores Davis’s cross-divisional appeal. “There are not many fighters I really sit down and look forward to watching live — Tank is one of them,” Edwards added.

Gervonta davis

What makes Davis stand out to many, including Edwards, is his combination of power and precision. He doesn’t just throw bombs — he sets traps, calculates angles, and closes distance with frightening speed. Fighters like Davis are a rare breed, and it’s clear he’s earned the admiration of his peers as much as his fans.

Edwards, who has been eyeing big fights of his own following his move up in weight, often emphasizes boxing IQ and technical prowess — attributes that Tank also quietly excels in behind the knockouts. “He’s not just brawn, he’s brains too,” Edwards said.

As both fighters continue their respective journeys, fans can appreciate the mutual recognition between two of boxing’s sharpest minds and fiercest talents. And while a matchup between the two is unlikely given the weight disparity, Edwards’ endorsement of Davis adds even more shine to the already glowing reputation of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

In a sport often divided by rivalries and heated debates, it’s refreshing to see top fighters show genuine appreciation for each other’s craft.
