Gervonta Davis, WBA’s two-division champion, has recently been connected with a hit-and-run car accident in his native Baltimore. Although officials haven’t confirmed whether ‘Tank’ was present in the arena, a source has clarified the news to CBS.

As per reports, the accident took place at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Martin Luther King Boulevard on Thursday at 1:53 AM. The police officials have already found that several people have suffered minor injuries. A person had to take hospital attention too.

Looking at the ongoing reports, the accident appears to be a multi-vehicle collision. Police officials claim that a vehicle had run through the red light and rammed into another vehicle, before fleeing from the scene. Although Police haven’t taken Davis’ name into the case, there are rumors that ‘Tank’ was in the Lamborghini that breached the traffic protocols.

Meanwhile, there are also reports that the WBA champion partied at a nightclub. He left at 1:30 am; half an hour before the accident. While he is still fresh from his recent KO win against Leo Santa Cruz, this is clearly a piece of minor bad news for the champion.

Gervonta Davis has some problems outside the ring

‘Tank’ is yet to state anything officially from his end. Meanwhile, people have already scrutinized his action.

While Gervonta Davis remains unbeaten inside the boxing ring, his life outside that has been problematic at times. Earlier in February, he was charged for assaulting his ex-girlfriend with whom he also has a child. In the clip, it was prominent that Davis was assaulting his girlfriend in a basketball game.
