Gervonta Davis will now await sentencing.

Gervonta Davis is currently one of the best boxers in the entire world. However, he has been dealing with some issues as of late. For instance, Davis was at the Super Bowl this past weekend where he was in a wheelchair. Overall, Davis was not making a big deal out of his injury, although it could affect his future fights. Needless to say, fans are a bit concerned about Davis and whether or not he will actually get to go up against Ryan Garcia.

More recently, Davis has been in court over some hit-and-run charges that he incurred back in 2020. According to TMZ, Davis allegedly ran a red light and hit another car. As the alleged story goes, Davis hit a car that had a pregnant woman in it. Subsequently, he made eye contact with those in the car and eventually sped off. This all reportedly took place in Baltimore on November 5th of 2020. Now, however, Gervonta Davis is pleading guilty to the charges.

With this latest plea deal, Davis will only be on the hook for four charges. This is good news for the boxer as he was initially hit with 14 charges. As for the charges that are sticking, we have running a red light, driving with an expired license, leaving the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, and finally, failing to notify of property damage. Overall, these are some serious charges that Davis is still facing punishment for. On May 5th, he will have his official sentencing.

Needless to say, this is all very bad news for Davis who has been in the news for all of the wrong reasons as of late. People are hoping for him to straighten out as his career could take some massive hits. Additionally, he is going to court for an alleged assault that took place on December 27th. With these issues in mind, stay tuned to HNHH for any news and updates.
