Gervonta Davis is adept at bouncing opponents off the canvas. He is accused of doing the same with checks.
Davis has been sued by a high-end New York City jeweler who claims a check from the boxer for nearly a half-million dollars was returned because of insufficient funds, according to the New York Post.
Elliot Buryev of Eliantte & Co. claims he personally delivered three custom pieces of jewelry — a diamond tennis chain, a tank charm with emeralds and diamonds and a watch with diamond baguettes — to Los Angeles and was given a check for $486,671.25.
Buryev alleges in his lawsuit, filed in a Manhattan Supreme Court, that Davis’ actions were intentional.
“This was no accounting error or mistake. Since the check was returned for insufficient funds, Davis has promised to make payment repeatedly but failed to do so,” Buryev stated in the lawsuit.
Davis also was sued in January for allegedly failing to make a $250,000 payment to Shyne Jewelry in Philadelphia, according to a TMZ report.
