Baltimore boxing champion Gervonta Davis pleaded guilty on Thursday to fourtraffic offenses in connection to a hit-and-run that injured four people — including a pregnant woman — in 2020.
Davis, 28, was set to stand trial in Baltimore Circuit Court before taking the plea agreement. Circuit Judge Althea M. Handy will determine the punishment for the crime at sentencing on May 5.

On Nov. 5, 2020, Davis was at a club celebrating his birthday and latest victory in the ring. He was driving a 2020 Lamborghini Urus SUV on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at about 1:50 a.m. when he ran a red light and hit a 2004 Toyota Solara, Baltimore Police reported.
The car was “destroyed,” according to police. Four people were taken to the hospital, police reported, while Davis left in another car that showed up on the scene.
Circuit Judge Melissa M. Phinn previously rejected a proposed plea agreement in the case that called for Davis to serve no jail time in the crash.

Davis is a West Baltimore native who’s nicknamed “Tank” and has a perfect 28-0 boxing record with 26 knockouts. He’s the current World Boxing Association lightweight world champion.

This is a developing story. Check back later for more information.

So they fighting or not?
I think both parties were waiting for Tank’s legal situation to be cleared up before announcing. Now that he pleaded guilty and will be sentenced on May 5th, well after the proposed date for the fight, I think we get an announcement before the weekend is over.

Sources: Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia sign for April 15 clash

6:15 PM ET3 Minute Read

Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia have both signed contracts for an April 15 super fight in Las Vegas at a 136-pound catchweight, sources told ESPN

The deal, which has been in the works since November, will be finalized once broadcasters Showtime and DAZN sign contracts, sources said. Showtime, Davis' and promoter PBC's longtime network, sent the contract to DAZN on Saturday, per source. The streaming service is the home of Garcia, who competes for Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.

The fight between the star boxers is perhaps the biggest commercial event boxing can deliver. A dispute over the rematch clause threatened to derail the fight, but that issue was resolved last week after PBC agreed that Golden Boy Promotions would serve as the lead promoter for the rematch if Garcia wins.

Only Davis can exercise the rematch clause in the event he loses, per sources. Typically, boxers have 30 days to activate their right to an immediate return bout.

Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) will earn the lion's share of revenue for the first fight, per sources, and is the betting favorite to win the bout. The Baltimore native defeated Hector Luis Garcia last month via ninth-round TKO to keep the Ryan Garcia matchup intact.
On Thursday, Davis pleaded guilty to four counts stemming from a hit-and-run crash in November 2020 in Baltimore that left four people injured, including a pregnant woman. Davis' sentencing is set for May 5, which means any potential punishment won't interfere with his ability to compete in April.

Davis is also set to be arraigned on Feb. 23 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in connection with a Dec. 27 misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm. Davis pleaded not guilty after allegedly hitting the mother of his 1-year-old daughter with a "closed-hand type slap," according to police, who said she suffered a small abrasion on the inside of her upper lip. She asked the court to dismiss charges in an affidavit filed Jan. 24.

Both Davis and Garcia announced on Instagram in mid-November that they would meet in a long-awaited fight in 2023, but it took months to reach an agreement on terms.

Davis, a 28-year-old from Baltimore, is one of the biggest needle-movers in boxing. "Tank" has 4.2 million Instagram followers and routinely fights before a host of celebrities. ESPN's No. 3 lightweight, Davis won a junior lightweight title with a seventh-round KO of Jose Pedraza in 2017.

Before he defeated Hector Luis Garcia, Davis scored wins over Isaac Cruz and Rolly Romero in 135-pound bouts.

Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) is a star, too, with over 9 million followers on Instagram. Regarded for his lightning-quick hands, the 24-year-old scored a career-best win in January 2021 after he survived a knockdown to stop Luke Campbell in the seventh round.

He didn't fight the rest of 2021 after he withdrew from a fight with Javier Fortuna to address his mental health followed by wrist surgery that scrapped a bout with Joseph Diaz Jr.
Garcia, who fights out of Southern California, returned last year with wins over Emmanuel Tagoe and Javier Fortuna at 140 pounds. Garcia, who formerly campaigned at 135 pounds, vowed to remain at 140 but will drop four pounds for the catchweight bout.

Garcia was set to fight Mercito Gesta in January, but he bypassed the planned tune-up bout to head directly into the high-stakes showdown with Davis.

:mjlol: not sure how you came up with that number
I’d say 90% actually. But he’s on the money most of the time. He’s surpassed Dan Rafael on breaking boxing news if we’re being honest. I don’t like the guy too much either tbh but it is what it is.

I remember being at a presser here in NYC when reporters were surrounding and asking Canelo questions and Canelo made a statement about him and Oscar only being business partners and nothing else - he literally stopped asking questions, pulled out his phone and immediately tweeted about it right in front of Canelo lol. I immediately realized he’s all about trying to be first/gain clout and not being a real journalist.
