The 30-year-old American had been involved in a Father’s Day incident outside the home of the woman, who has two children by the fighter, and was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach.
Davis, a southpaw boxer, is 30-0 with one draw and 28 knockouts. His most recent bout was a controversial majority draw against compatriot Lamont Roach in New York last March in which Davis kept the World Boxing Association lightweight crown.
It’s not known when Davis will return to the ring, although there had been talk of a rematch with Roach, 25-1 with two drawn and 10 knockouts, before the arrest.
