Gervonta Davis’s domestic violence charges have been dropped over an incident with his ex-girlfriend.

A misdemeanor battery charge has been discharged by the Miami-Dade County Clerk’s Office when the 30-year-old American boxer’s girlfriend declined to prosecute Davis.

The southpaw boxer had been involved in an incident on Father’s Day outside the home of his ex girlfriend, who he has two children with, and was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach.

The unbeaten world lightweight boxing champion is 30-0 with one draw and 28 knockouts. His most recent fight was a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach in New York last March in which Davis held on to his WBA lightweight crown.

There had been rumours of a rematch with Lamont Roach before the arrest.

British sprinter Reece Prescod retires from athletics

British sprinter Reece Prescod has announced his decision to retire from athletics.

The 29-year-old quit the sport after a decade as a professional athlete, participating in three World Championships and one Olympic Games.

The Londoner is the fourth fastest British man ever over 100m, with a personal best of 9.93 seconds.

He won a silver medal in the 100m at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, and also a bronze in the 4x100m relay at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene.

Prescod reached the semi-finals of the 100m at Tokyo 2020 in his only appearance at an Olympics.

On an Instagram post, he wrote “Athletics has taught me invaluable lessons, the true meaning of hard work, dedication, and discipline,”.

“I have been fortunate enough to travel the world, compete at the highest level, and represent my country with pride.

“I look forward to contributing to sport and performance in new, meaningful ways, inspiring others to chase their potential with the same passion that drove me.”
