Undefeated lightweight prospect Ashton Sylve has been added to the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz on August 5. 

The card, which will be broadcast on DAZN PPV, will feature Sylve who takes on William Dos Santos Silva in what will be Sylve's first fight since beating Adam Kipenga in the first Most Valuable Prospects event last May. 

Sylve has knocked out eight of his nine opponents and the 19-year-old is excited about fighting on the big stage. 

"It has always been a dream of mine to fight among legends and shine under the brightest lights," Sylve said. 

"MVP has continually given me the opportunity to do so, and I couldn't be more excited about stepping back into the ring in what promises to be the event of the year.

"I've been grinding like crazy to get ready for this fight, and trust me, my technique and skills will be on full display on August 5th. Dallas, get ready 'cause I'm coming for you! See you soon!"

Silva is 30-4 (18 KOs) and is promising an entertaining contest at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. 

“There will be fireworks during this fight,” Silva claimed.

“I’m fighting for my family and country.”
