Video: Gervonta Davis gets physical with baby mama Andretta Smothers at event
An ugly video of champion boxer Gervonta Davis getting physical with the mother of his child surfaced and spread throughout the internet on Saturday.
The video shows Davis grabbing Andretta Smothers, with whom he shares a child, near her neck and pulling her out of her chair. He then drags her towards an area off the court.
The video was recorded by @mr_luares on Twitter at the Watsco Center on the University of Miami campus Saturday, which is where the EeeZeeStevie All-Star Celebrity Basketball Game was taking place. Floyd Mayweather is Davis’ promoter, and Mayweather’s “The Money Team” was among the presenters of the event.
Davis later addressed the incident on his Instagram story.

“I never once hit her, yea I was aggressive and told her come on… that’s the mother of my child I would never hurt her other than that happy New Years.. January was trash,” he wrote.
Davis, 25, is 23-0 with 22 knockouts in his boxing career. The Baltimore native is the WBA lightweight champion.
Davis was arrested for allegedly assaulting his friend in 2017 by punching him on the side of the head, but the friend later dropped the charges. Davis was arrested in 2018 for an alleged fight outside a club in Washington D.C. An arrest warrant was also served for him in 2019 for an alleged incident at a mall.
