Gervonta Davis settles civil lawsuit over alleged strip club incident, criminal charges still active

Gervonta “Tank” Davis and his ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, have settled their civil case.Two-division boxing champion Davis was accused by Rossel of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a civil lawsuit filed on Oct. 30, 2025 in Miami-Dade County, Florida.Rossel voluntarily dismissed her civil proceedings against Davis with prejudice on Thursday, according to court records obtained by Uncrowned. Davis and Rossel have reached a confidential out-of-court settlement, Rossel's lawyer, Richard Wolfe, told USA Today.Dismissal with prejudice means that the claim cannot be filed again. Davis is permanently clear of civil proceedings from Rossel in this matter, but criminal charges remain active.The case stems from an alleged incident on Oct. 27, 2025 at Tootsies, a strip club, where Rossel accused Davis of misdemeanor battery and felony kidnapping.A video of the altercation played in a Florida courtroom in March showed Davis grabbing Rossel by the hair and pushing her out of a backstage hallway at Tootsies. Davis appeared to continue to push Rossel forcefully out of the club and into the parking lot before Rossel was able to escape Davis' grip and flee back into the club.The next status hearing for Davis' criminal case is scheduled for Nov. 17. Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs), a former WBA lightweight world champion and IBF super featherweight champion, has not fought since his March 2025 bout against Lamont Roach ended in a controversial majority decision. Davis was previously expected to fight Jake Paul in late 2025, however the bout fell apart due to Davis’ ongoing legal issues.
