KEY POINTS

  • Gervonta Davis claimed there was no truth to the domestic violence claims against him
  • Davis was arrested for battery charges Tuesday for allegedly striking a woman in the face
  • Davis was released from prison with a bail set at $1,000

Gervonta "Tank" Davis denied the domestic violence allegations made against him by an unidentified woman, claiming that it was "bulls—t" and not true.

On Tuesday afternoon, the 28-year-old professional boxer was arrested for battery charges after an anonymous woman made an emergency call to 911 claiming that an altercation between Davis and her had led to a physical bout.

Shortly after the athlete's release from jail, he spoke up about the incident by posting a since-deleted statement on Instagram, saying that he was "not a monster."

"I never put my hands on my [child's] mother nor my f—king daughter are you f—king crazy!!" Davis wrote along with a photo of him and his family watching the Walt Disney animated film, "Frozen," which he claimed was just "moments" before he and the mother of his child got into an altercation, according to TMZ.

Davis alleged that the accuser was attempting a "money grab" from him, the outlet noted.

Legal documents obtained by TMZ stated that the fighter "did actually and intentionally touch and strike" the woman "against her will" and "intentionally cause bodily harm to her."

According to the authorities, Davis hit the woman on the right side of her head "with a closed hand type slap," leaving the latter with a small abrasion on her upper lip.

Before the athlete got arrested at a residence in Parkland, Florida, and was brought behind bars on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm, the unidentified accuser called 911 for help and was heard screaming, "He's going to kill me," according to a call obtained by TMZ Sports, which was authenticated by Broward County Sheriff's Department.

While the operator attempted to gather more information about the incident, the woman was reportedly heard screaming several times that she needed "help" because Davis "attacked" her.

"I need help, please!" the woman said in the call. "I'm trying to go home. I have my baby in the car, and he attacked me in front of the kid. And now he's messing up my tires!"

She was also heard saying, "Please, help me! He's going to kill me!"

Moments later, the call got disconnected. However, the woman was able to return another call to the authorities and reportedly told the operators that she needed "to go home, I'm in danger right now!"

The outlet noted that Davis alleged the accuser called the authorities because he "wouldn't give her" his truck.

The world-champion athlete spent the night in jail before getting released on a bail set at $1,000 on Wednesday afternoon, ESPN reported citing the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Davis' arrest came nearly two weeks before he is slated for a fight against Hector Luis Garcia, headlining a PBC on Showtime PPV event on Jan. 7.

It is unclear whether the scheduled bout would proceed as planned since the WBA super lightweight champion and his promoter have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
