Boxing Coach Calvin Ford Arrested Amid Assault Allegations
Last week, boxing coach Calvin Ford was arrested in Baltimore over an alleged warrant related to assault charges in Las Vegas, as reported by various outlets, including CBS News. The arrest is connected to purported aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon charges from February 2023. However, despite widespread coverage, there's no substantiated documentation supporting these claims. Ford, renowned for his work with Abdul Wahid (formerly Gervonta Davis), has been a celebrated figure in boxing. His training partner, Kenny Ellis, stepped forward to address the allegations, shedding light on the incident surrounding Ford's arrest. Ellis recounted the events, highlighting that he and Ford were leaving a Baltimore gym when law enforcement surrounded Ford. Per Ellis, the police mentioned serious felony charges from Las Vegas, leaving both bewildered as they couldn't recall any confrontations during their visits to the city. As the situation unfolded, Ford was taken into custody, leading to the revelation that the charges stemmed from a February 2023 incident, despite the warrant only being issued in October. Ellis refuted claims of assault with a deadly weapon, stating it was a fabrication by media outlets, clarifying that Ford didn't have a weapon on his person during their travels. Ellis provided his version of events, disputing the alleged assault accusations. According to him, a verbal exchange and monetary transaction occurred between Ford and two individuals, which Ellis believed led to the false charges, speculating that the complainants sought more money than what was initially exchanged. Details regarding the monetary exchange remain undisclosed as the case awaits legal proceedings. Ford is slated to be transferred to Las Vegas for the impending court date, with ongoing monitoring by ProBoxTV for updates on this evolving story. #CalvinFord #BoxingCoachArrest #AssaultAllegations #FabricatedStory #LegalProceedings #ProBoxTVUpdates
