Gervonta Davis pleads guilty in 2020 hit-and-run crash that injured four people

Gervonta Davis pleaded guilty Thursday morning in a Baltimore courtroom to charges stemming from his hit-and-run accident in November 2020 in his hometown that injured several people, including a pregnant woman.

The former junior lightweight world titleholder will be sentenced May 5.

Davis is still expected to face Ryan Garcia in a pay-per-view showdown April 15 in Las Vegas. The fight—once finalized—is scheduled for 12 rounds at a 136-pound catchweight.

Davis faced 14 misdemeanor motor vehicle charges related to the aforementioned hit-and-run.

Authorities say Davis drove his Lamborghini through a red light and collided with the side of a 2004 Toyota Solara in the early-morning hours of November 5, 2020. The driver of the Toyota and three passengers suffered cuts, bruises and other undisclosed injuries that required them to be hospitalized.

Davis, who could face time behind bars, helped a woman out of the passenger's seat of the vehicle before leaving the scene prior to the arrival of police.

The driver of the Toyota, Jyair Smith, is suing Davis due to a knee injury she sustained in the melee that has rendered her incapable of playing with her children, despite undergoing extensive physical therapy. Smith also stated that Davis didn't offer her or her three passengers any assistance before departing the scene.

Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) is also facing a misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm. He allegedly struck Vanessa Posso, the mother of the younger of Davis' two daughters. David was arrested December 27 in Parkland, Florida for the incident. However, Posso has since walked back her initial statements to police, stating that the star boxer “did not harm me or our daughter.”

Davis was released December 28 on $1,000 bail after spending one night in a Broward County correctional facility.

11 days following that arrest,, Davis stopped previously unbeaten Hector Luis Garcia in the ninth round of their secondary lightweight title fight January 7 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
