Jake Paul Promotion MVP Starts Prospects Series, Ashton Sylve Headlines First Card

Most Valuable Promotions, headed by Jake Paul, are starting a new series: Most Valuable Prospects. The goal is to “highlight the next generation of the sport’s best male and female athletes, who all have world title aspirations.”

MVP and BoxLab Promotions are partnering up, and DAZN will distribute the series. Most Valuable Prospects will hold four Friday night events in 2023. The first event unfolds on Friday, May 26 live from the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Additionally, MVP’s co-founder Jake Paul and world-renowned undisputed featherweight world champion Amanda Serrano will be in attendance for the inaugural event.

Who Fights On the First Prospects Card May 26?

Ashton Sylve (8-0, 8 KOs; from California) headlines the first Most Valuable Prospects event. The 2022 ESPN Ringside Prospect of the Year Sylve fights Angel Rebollar (6-2, 3 KOs) in a lightweight contest, set for eight rounds or fewer. He is a former US national amateur champion who will be facing his seventh consecutive undefeated foe.

Ashton Sylve is an 8-0 boxing prospect, who has stopped his foe in each contest. Jake Paul thinks quite highly of his career potential

“Having joined the boxing community in my twenties, I came to realize most professional athletes start training in the ring from the time they can walk,” said Jake Paul, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, in a press release. “It’s incredibly important to me and my team that we offer a platform and the tools necessary to help these young boxers achieve the success they’ve been working towards since they were kids. I was lucky to have a solid foundation when I entered boxing because of the people supporting me. Our goal with Most Valuable Prospects is to give others the same chance, on a global stage. Also, Amanda and I can’t wait to be ringside on May 26 to cheer on Ashton and the rest of the Most Valuable Prospects.”

For the record, Jake Paul has his own event looming. He fights Nate Diaz on August 9.
