Gervonta Davis is going to trial on September 21st after turning down a deal that would have seen the lightweight star go to jail.
The hit and run charges will now get contested later this year as Davis had hoped to focus on a May 28th Pay Per View fight.
But not so. According to further reports, Davis has an additional court date on May 18th to contest a charge stemming from a viral video at a basketball game.
This scenario means Showtime cannot set Tank’s fight with Rolando Romero in stone until ten days before the battle.
If convicted for the alleged hit and run, Davis faces over seven years in prison. The second two counts of battery for the May 18th court date will only add to the worry.
Floyd Mayweather is yet to renew his contract with Davis as free agency looms. The promoter may well be waiting to see what happens before fully committing.
