Davis, the second-youngest world champion in boxing, immediately took to social media following the incident:

“I never once hit her, yea I was aggressive and told her to come on,” Davis claims.

Davis writes this on his post only to voluntarily surrender to the Coral Gables police, Florida three days later.
