A fight between Davis and Ryan Garcia was announced Friday
Around the time Gervonta Davis’ next fight was announced, it was also revealed he faces some more legal trouble.
The boxer is being sued for allegedly causing “multiple bodily injuries” after sucker-punching a parking attendant in a New York City garage.
Arturo Jimenez claims the boxer struck him in the chest while waiting for his car in the garage March 8, 2022.
Jimenez was then pulled into the office while Davis allegedly continued “yelling and cursing,” demanding his keys, although he allegedly refused to pay initially.
It was announced Friday Davis will fight Ryan Garcia April 22 in Las Vegas.

Davis has been in trouble recently. He pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run in Maryland and will be sentenced May 5. That incident left four people injured, and he is facing seven years in jail among his 14 violations.
