WBA Removes Gervonta Davis as Active Champion After Domestic Violence Allegations
Boxing star Gervonta “Tank” Davis has been removed from his position as active WBA lightweight champion after fresh legal trouble linked to an alleged domestic violence incident.
Reports say the World Boxing Association has reclassified Davis as “Champion in Recess,” a move that takes him out of the championship spotlight while authorities pursue an arrest warrant connected to the case.
The situation has now thrown the WBA lightweight division into uncertainty, with fans waiting to see whether the title will be officially declared vacant and who will be selected to fight for it next.
Davis has been one of the biggest names in boxing, known for his dominance at lightweight and his strong undefeated run.
But the WBA’s decision shows the organisation is now taking the controversy seriously as the legal process continues.
Davis has not been convicted, and the case remains unresolved, but the fallout is already shaking the sport, with his championship status no longer secure.
