Boxing world champion Gervonta Davis was back in court on Thursday as he’s charged for a hit-and-run crash back in November 2020 that injured four people.

The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to several crimes, including leaving the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, failing to notify of property damage, driving with a revoked license, and running a red light. That’s according to ESPN.

The sentencing will take place on May 5.

However, Davis will return to court next week to answer for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm, involving the mother of his daughter. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Gervonta Davis to face Ryan Garcia

The 28-year-old WBA lightweight champion will most likely face fellow undefeated boxer Ryan Garcia in a massive fight that is scheduled for April 15 in Las Vegas.

”This is the fight I want and this is the fight boxing needs,” Garcia said. “The hype, the storylines, the two athletes defining their sport inside the ring and out. I am going to knock ‘Tank’ out and take my place as the face of our incredible sport, and I’m bringing a new generation of boxing fans with me. I appreciate Tank volunteering to get beat so that I can get to work.”

Davis will enter the fight with a pro record of 28-0, while Garcia holds a record of 23-0.
