BALTIMORE — Baltimore native and world boxing champion Gervonta Davis will stand trial for a hit and run crash nearly two-years ago.
Attorneys for Davis went to Baltimore City Circuit Court on Tuesday, in hopes of securing a plea deal that would have required no jail time.
Judge Melissa Phinn rejected that offer from prosecutors after hearing a victim impact statement, and instead ordered a jury trial to begin on December 12.
The State's Attorney's Office has confirmed Davis' trial has been pushed back and is to begin February 16, 2023.
The crash occurred November 5, 2020.
Charging documents say Davis ran a red light, striking a Toyota at the intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Washington Boulevards.

Area surveillance footage of the incident showed Davis' Lamborghini colliding directly into a convenience store fence.
The crash left four people inside the Toyota injured and hospitalized.
Davis is accused of getting out of the Lamborghini and leaving the scene in a Camaro.
He now faces a slew of traffic violations, including leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, and driving on a revoked license.
