Jake Paul's prospect Ashton Sylve wants to "let truth be known" amid Shawn Porter feud

Jake Paul's newest boxing prospect Ashton Sylve has declared that he had to "let the truth be known" after a social media feud with Shawn Porter this month.

The legendary former world champion recently laughed off a suggestion from comedian Anthony 'Scruncho' McKinley that he "gave him a lesson" at just 16-years-old when the pair sparred, much to his team's annoyance. The unbeaten professional has already been named ESPN Ringside's 'Prospect of the year', and leaked footage has appeared to show a relatively standard session.

Sylve claims that there was never a "back-and-forth" between the pair, despite Porter refusing to deny the claim that he schooled the lightweight contender during their 2019 sparring session. And when footage emerged, he feels that the rounds show for themselves that the former champion was not telling the whole story.
