Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis Files $20M Countersuit Against Domestic Violence Accuser

The undefeated boxer denies striking her

Gervonta “Tank” Davis, who has been accused of assaulting a woman at a strip club in October 2025, has filed a countersuit against the woman, denying that he ever hit or choked her that night.

According to TMZ Sports, the boxer is seeking $20 million from the woman he used to date, Courtney Rossel, claiming her accusations are false. He says it’s a shakedown attempt, since she previously demanded that he pay her $1.1 million to make the accusation go away.

He claimed that after the alleged incident, she spent the next two nights with him at her residence.

Tank also stated in the suit that, due to her accusation, he’s suing for “interference with business relationship” after a match against Jake Paul, scheduled for Nov. 14, 2025, in Miami, was canceled. Paul, who was also a promoter for the bout, called the fight off after news of the alleged domestic violence was reported.

He was slated to take home $20 million for the boxing match. The victim has already responded to the countersuit, and her legal team has filed a motion to dismiss his counterclaim, saying that Tank can’t sue her for reporting an alleged crime. After news of the alleged crime, Miami prosecutors filed criminal charges related to the incident and issued a warrant for the boxer’s arrest. Tank evaded law enforcement for two weeks before being apprehended and then charged with attempted kidnapping and battery.

TMZ Sports reported that after Davis’ countersuit was filed, attorneys for the alleged victim were at a Florida court on March 31 (for the civil case, not criminal), providing the court with surveillance footage that allegedly shows Tank grabbing her by the neck at the strip club, Tootsie’s Cabaret.

The video shows the boxer grabbing her by the neck, pushing her through a hallway, and down some stairs, leading to an exit. She then turns away from Tank and another man and heads back inside the club.

The accuser’s attorney spoke to the media outlet and said, “What Mr. Davis did to Courtney was outrageous. And the judge agreed. This is not the first, second, or third time that Mr. Davis has acted in this manner.”

“His defense team showed their desperation by attempting to attack Courtney, when the videos clearly showed that what Courtney said was truthful and consistent with her affidavit, the police arrest, and the incident report by her employer.”

Tank’s attorneys reached out to TMZ Sports and issued a statement after the plaintiff’s lawyers showed the video in court: “We were disappointed with the court’s ruling today, as we do not believe the video tells the entire story.”
