Court releases Jervonta Davis to Paris for Olympics despite probation
In a few days, the 2024 Olympics will kick off in Paris, bringing together the best athletes and coaches for sporting competitions.
As reported by The Baltimore Banner, the court has granted boxer Gervonta Davis's motion and allowed him to attend the Olympics. He will support and advise the USA boxing team. It's noteworthy that the 29-year-old Davis is currently on probation due to a 2020 car accident in Baltimore that resulted in injuries to four people, restricting his international travel.
In other news, former world champion in the super featherweight division under IBF (2010) and WBO (2011-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015) versions, Orlando Salido, was detained by Mexican police following a fatal car accident.
Additionally, promoter Bob Arum has hinted that a bout between Gervonta Davis and Vasiliy Lomachenko could potentially take place in November, provided both parties can reach an agreement.
