He is 25 years old.
Early life and Amateur Career
Davis has been training at Upton Boxing Center since he was five years old. Davis is trained by Calvin Ford who was the inspiration for the character Dennis “Cutty” Wise on the hit HBO television series, The Wire. Davis had a very successful amateur career, winning many national championships.

He attended Digital Harbor High School, a local magnet school, but dropped out to focus on his career. He later earned his secondary degree through a GED program.
Charges and Arrested
Police said, Davis, surrendered to Coral Gables police on Tuesday after video surfaced on Twitter Saturday showing the undefeated southpaw getting physical with an ex-girlfriend at a celebrity basketball game at the University of Miami.
Police said in a statement, “As a result of an ongoing investigation after being notified through social media and the victim, on February 1, 2020, the above-pictured subject was observed battering his former girlfriend [and the mother of his child].
Footage of the altercation shows Davis — who has been charged with simple battery domestic violence — aggressively approaching the victim as she sat before yanking her to her feet by her throat. He then forcibly led the woman out of the arena, video shows.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Davis acknowledged that he was “aggressive” with the woman but denied striking her.
“I never once hit her,” Davis wrote. “Yea I was aggressive and told her come on … That’s the mother of my child. I would never hurt her.”
Davis, who has more than 2.1 million Instagram followers, has since deleted all posts from his account.
A spokesman for Premier Boxing Champions, which manages Davis, declined to comment on his arrest, ESPN reports.
“It looks like it’s a legal matter,” spokesman Tim Smith said. “We don’t comment on legal matters.”
