After Gervonta Davis’ (now Abdul Wahid) legal troubles, his coach, Calvin Ford, found himself in deep waters. Following Davis’ 44-day stint in a Baltimore jail, Ford, the esteemed coach of the prominent American boxing star, had found himself in a difficult situation with the authorities. However, after almost a month, the coach has finally been released.

On December 29, Baltimore police arrested Ford as he exited the Upton Boxing Gym in Baltimore, Maryland. This was in connection with an incident that took place in Las Vegas. The reason for Ford’s arrest was linked to felony assault charges in Nevada. Ford faced two charges of ‘assault with a deadly weapon. Fortunately, however, he has been released since and informed the fans about this through his Instagram stories.

Coach Calvin posted a series of pictures and videos on his Instagram stories after his release. One of the pictures was captioned, “Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing. You’ll see clearly soon enough.” Like the strong team that they are, Davis and his crew have been standing in support of the coach since the start of the fiasco started.

More details are yet to come regarding the conditions of his release. Soon after his release, though, the trainer reached the airport and came back to Baltimore with his team and his close ones. Many team members had vouched for his innocence since the arrest and had refuted the alleged charges.

When asked about the circumstances of Ford’s arrest, Ellis defended him, stating, “They picked him up on some false accusations that somebody accused him of doing.”

The host pressed for details on the charges. Responding to this, Ellis disclosed that Ford was accused of assault with a deadly weapon by two individuals. Ellis emphasized Ford’s innocence, stating, “It was assault with a deadly weapon from two people, and the question is if that happened and I was with Calvin, why am I not locked up.” He went on to add, “[I] want to let the people know that he’s been falsely accused, and the truth will rise to the top.”
