Disturbing new footage of Gervonta Davis’ attack on his ex-girlfriend has emerged and it clearly shows the boxing superstar getting violent with the woman.

The assault was captured on a cell phone video that has been seen more than seven million times on Twitter. After Davis grabbed the mother of his daughter from her seat, he escorted her out of the gymnasium and they appeared to be arguing, according to ESPN.

Once the video went viral, Davis took to Instagram to defend himself. “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,” Davis said in the post, which was later deleted, according to ESPN. That video is no longer available.
TMZ Sports obtained the new footage from the altercation, showing Davis pulling and pushing the woman into the Watsco Center locker room. She also charges right back at him as he attempts to physically rough her up. Once they are separated, Davis turns his fury to a man who appears to be filming the scene, the report states.
The men nearly come to blows but are separated, and Davis would go on to serve 3 days in jail over the incident.
