World champion Davis arrested on domestic violence charges
WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis was arrested on Friday on misdemeanour domestic violence charges.
The arrest was related to an incident near Miami, Florida, on 15 June, Father's Day.
Davis allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend, the mother of two of his children, outside her home.
The 30-year-old was taken into custody in Miami but has since been released on $10,000 (£7,400) bond, with a court hearing scheduled for 29 July.
He has twice previously been arrested on battery domestic violence charges, in February 2020 and December 2022.
Davis has also served 44 days in jail in 2023 after violating the terms of a 90-day house arrest sentence, in relation to a criminal hit-and-run case that occurred in his hometown of Baltimore in November 2020.
The former IBF super featherweight champion is unbeaten from 31 professional fights, although his most recent bout was a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr in March and they have a rematch scheduled for August.

Britain's Sheeraz stops Berlanga as Stevenson retains title
Britain's Hamzah Sheeraz made a successful step up to super middleweight with a destructive fifth-round stoppage victory against Edgar Berlanga in New York.
In the other co-main event, Shakur Stevenson retained his WBC lightweight world title with a unanimous decision victory over William Zepeda.
Sheeraz, 26, knocked Berlanga down twice in the fourth round and again at the start of the fifth to force the referee to end the fight.
The impressive victory improves Sheeraz's record to 22-0, with one draw and 18 wins inside the distance.
It was the Briton's first fight since that draw - against WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames in February - after which he decided to make the step up to super middleweight.
Berlanga's record is now 23-2 after a second defeat in three fights, with March's stoppage of Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz preceded by a unanimous points defeat by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Meanwhile, Stevenson comfortably won on all three judges' scorecards against Zepeda to make a third defence of his WBC lightweight title.
Two judges scored the bout 118-110 and a third saw it 119-109 for the 28-year-old American, who improved his unbeaten record to 24-0 with 11 knockouts.
It was a first career defeat for Mexican Zepeda, 29, whose record is now 33-1.
The card was held at the Louis Armstrong Stadium, one of the show courts at Flushing Meadows, host venue of the US Open tennis.

Sometimes you have to go in there and fight believing you will come out on top and that’s what he did . A slowish start but a clinical finish .
The taller guy usually stays at distance against a puncher but Hamza decided to take it inside and dominated with his uppercuts along with a varied arsenal of shots all around .
A good weight for him now , looks a certain future world champion now . The next big British Pakistani boxing star has arrived after Amir khan .
