Who Is Demetris Fenwick, Gervonta Davis' Brother?
Demetris Fenwick is an American boxer whose claim to fame is his younger brother, Gervonta Davis, a popular lightweight, featherweight, and light welterweight boxer.
Although Demetris’ younger brother is famous for boxing and some level of fame has rubbed off on Demetris, the latter has also had somewhat of a career. Let’s look at all of that.
Summary Of Demetris Fenwick’s Biography
- Full Name: Demetris Fenwick
- Gender: Male
- Place of Birth: Baltimore, Maryland
- Ethnicity: African American
- Nationality: American
- Demetris Fenwick’s Parents: Kenya Brown (mother)
- Siblings: Gervonta Davis
Demetris Fenwick Did Not Have A Great Upbringing
Demetris Fenwick is yet to reveal his date of birth. However, his brother Gervonta Davis has revealed that Demetris is his older brother. If Davis is 29 years old at the moment, it would mean Demetris is definitely older than that.
Also, considering that Demetris and Gervonta do not bear the same surname, it is unlikely that they share the same father. There are even reports that Demetris Fenwick may have been adopted, but considering the fact that their mother was not much of a role model, it is unlikely that she would have been qualified to adopt a child.
There are no details of who Demetris’ father is; however, his mother is Kenya Brown. Asides from Gervonta Davis (whose father is Garrin Davis), he has at least one other sibling from his mother, but nothing about him is known. Kenya Brown was a drug addict and did not care so much about her children. It was so bad that they were taken into foster homes and had to learn a lot of things from the streets.
However, his mother has decided to turn a new leaf. She is not proud of the way she raised her children. Her son, Gervonta Davis, has been able to provide a better life for her and does not judge her. However, Demetris Fenwick’s relationship with his mother is not known.
Demetris Fenwick Grew Up In Baltimore
In Baltimore, Maryland, where Demetris grew up, crime was the order of the day. His brother Gervonta had shared several experiences where he nearly lost his life as a result of street fights. Although Demetris is yet to share his, considering that they grew up together and were taken to the same foster care home, he must have had similar experiences.
He and his brother Gervonta Davis had a rough upbringing that is telling on them in adulthood. Demetris had to watch people he knows and grew up with losing their lives due to street fights, and these memories don’t go easily.
He Was Not A Good Example To His Younger Brother
Growing up in an environment like Baltimore made it difficult for Demetris Fenwick to easily choose good from bad. Despite knowing that hard drugs were not good and seeing the effect they had on his family, he still abused drugs.
He also went as far as giving marijuana to his younger brother Gervonta Davis. According to Davis, he initially pretended to be too high to feel among until the day he got so high and thought that smoking wasn’t for him. As momentarily satisfying as the feeling of being high was, he did not take drugs again after that time.
Drugs aside, Demetris was a big influence on Gervonta Davis. According to Davis, he just wanted to be like his brother in all he did.
While Growing Up, His Younger Brother Got Into A Lot Of Fights
Although nothing has been revealed about fights with his younger brother, it is known that they always got into fights with others. They fought at foster care homes, on the streets, at home, and even with their uncle’s children. Fighting was a major part of their childhood.
Demetris Fenwick Is Also A Boxer
He may or may not be a pro-boxer like his younger brother, but Demetris Fenwick has been reported to be a boxer; however, not much is known about his boxing career – where or when it started or how it is going. It is possible that he ventured into boxing alongside his younger brother Gervonta, who is currently a world-renowned boxer. Gervonta Davis is following the footsteps of Floyd Mayweather and is building a big name for himself in the boxing industry.
Not much is known about Demetris Fenwick’s current whereabouts, so we can’t say for sure whether he is still boxing, in prison, or living a corporate and quiet life. The type of relationship Demetris and his brother currently share (at the time of writing) is unknown. But Gervonta Davis always makes mention of him, and if they were so close when they were younger, they are probably still close to each other now.
Who Is Demetris Fenwick’s Younger Brother – Gervonta Davis?
Gervonta Davis would have been a perfect example of an individual who would have been celebrated for refusing a life of crime and building a legal career for himself, but the story is not that beautiful. Through the money and fame he is making from boxing, he hopes to make Baltimore a better place by doing what he can to eradicate crime on the street.
Gervonta has done a good job of making himself one of the most renowned boxers in America when it comes to boxing. He started training when he was five years old and was opportune to win the National Golden Gloves Championship.
At the age of 18, he started his professional boxing career, and since then, he is yet to lose a fight (26-0 with 22 KOs). Since 2013, he has won several titles, including World Championships in WBA (regular), Super Lightweight, and IBF Super Featherweight.
Davis Has Had Several Run-ins With The Law – And May Be Going to Jail
Despite his seemingly great record in boxing, his life has not been devoid of legal run-ins. In 2017, he was arrested for first-degree aggravated assault after punching a man named Anthony Wheeler with gloved hands. Luckily for him, Anthony Wheeler withdrew the case and did not press charges. If he did otherwise, Davis would have been up for a sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of $2,500, or both.
In 2018, he was arrested for fighting again, and in 2020, he openly assaulted his girlfriend at the Watsco Center at the University of Miami. In 2021, he was accused of disobeying traffic rules and inflicting property damage and injuries on other road users. He is still awaiting judgment, and if things don’t go in his favor, he may have to spend some years behind bars.
