Police in Miami say Davis allegedly “grabbed” the victim “by the back of her hair with one hand and by her throat with the other”, before “forcefully” trying to move her.
“The victim reported they were previously involved in an intimate relationship for approximately five months,” the statement continued.
“Lead detective Gary Florencio obtained and viewed video surveillance footage that cooperates key elements of the victim’s statement.”
The arrest warrant for the 31-year-old American comes after a civil lawsuit was filed against him by ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel in October.
The lawsuit accused Davis of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Rossel is also seeking compensatory and punitive damages “of over $50,000” (£38,145), and requested a jury trial.
Davis was set to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in an exhibition bout in Miami on 14 November but was pulled from the bout after the lawsuit was filed.
The arrest warrant for Davis comes six months after a domestic violence case against Davis was dropped by another ex-girlfriend.
He was also previously arrested on battery domestic violence charges in February 2020 and December 2022.
Davis served 44 days in jail in 2023 after violating the terms of a 90-day house arrest sentence, in relation to a criminal hit-and-run case that occurred in his home city of Baltimore in November 2020.
