Boxer Gervonta Davis was arrested and has remained in custody after a Wednesday morning court hearing as he allegedly struck a woman on the right side of her head with a "closed hand type slap," which ended up leading to arrest on Tuesday afternoon, according to a Broward County Sherriff's Office incident report.

The woman, who does not live with Davis and whose name was redacted from the report, suffered a small abrasion to the inside of her upper lip on the right side of her mouth.

The arrest happened at Parkland, Florida, at 2:50 pm ET Tuesday. He was officially arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm. He also was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident.

Davis is scheduled to headline a PBC on Showtime PPV event on January 7 against Hector Luis Garcia. It is unclear if this bout will be canceled at this time as Davis' boxing promoter, PBC, declined to comment as of this writing. Davis has a career 27-0 record as a professional boxer with 25 knockouts.

What is this weekend's slate of fights and key games look like?

There are a lot of critical games and fights happening before the calendar changes over to 2023, as there is a huge fight scheduled for December 31 at Super Flyweight with the CANT WBA Super World Super Flyweight and the WBO World Junior Bantamweight Championship between Kazuto Ioka and Joshua Franco.

Ioka is 29-2-0 entering this bout, while Franco is 18-1-2 so far. This matchup will take place at Ot-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, giving the home-crowd advantage to Ioka.

There are also two huge and impactful NCAA Football Bowl Games happening on New Year's Eve, with the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl happening at 4 pm ET between the third-ranked TCU Horned Frogs and the second-ranked Michigan Wolverines as well as the Chick-FIl-A Peach Bowl happening at 8 pm between the fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. The winners of those games will face off on Monday, January 9, in the National Championship Game.

Outside of those events, there are obviously NBA and NHL games happening throughout the week and the weekend, so there is definitely no shortage of sports to consume and make some money on.
