Gervonta Davis could be prevented from travelling to the Paris Olympics to support Team USA.

Davis has a plan to travel out to the French capital to support the boxing team in their pursuit of a gold medal haul later this month.

But the 29-year-old is currently on probation after being jailed last year for a hit-and-run that took place in Baltimore in 2020, and this restricts him from travelling abroad.

Tank’s attorney, Hunter Pruette, has requested the boxing star is permitted to travel on the grounds that he will ‘support and advise’ the team from July 19 to August 11.

Judge Althea. M Handy has yet to make a final decision on the request, but has insisted she needs more information before the ban can be temporarily lifted.

According to the Baltimore Banner, she ended the hearing on Wednesday and walked off the bench, insisting: “We’re going to terminate this, Mr. Davis. We’re finished with this hearing.”

High Performance Director for Team USA, Matt Johnson, wrote in Davis’ defence, adding: “Given his status amongst the world’s best boxers, Mr. Davis would be a key asset in motivating and supporting our team to achieve Olympic greatness and become the number one nation in the world at this year’s Olympic Games.”

Davis’ lawyer Pruette also argued that his client had been compliant during his probational period.

Handy had later accused the attorney of being ‘arrogant’ which he suggested he had never been named during his entire 20-year period practising law.

A final decision has yet to be made and it is unclear if Davis will be able to get a resolution before his planned travel date.

It is not Davis’ first experience with the judge, having hit out at her when she sent him to jail last year.

He went live on Instagram, saying: “Man, I just wanna let the people know that this judge is crazy, bro.
