JAKE PAUL has been backed to reach the pinnacle of boxing by his prodigy Ashton Sylve, who was left in shock by his celebrity manager.
Sylve is 8-0 with a 100 per cent knockout ratio and a target of almost every promoter by the time he was just 18.
But Paul and his Most Valuable Promotions stable managed to snap up the exciting American prospect.
The pair trained together briefly after Sylve took a trip to the YouTuber-turned boxer’s Puerto Rico training base.
And it was there he was left pleasantly surprised by his Paul’s boxing knowledge, which he thinks will be enough to take the 5-0 prizefighter all the way.
