H2O Sylve and Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield are set to clash in an attractive lightweight battle, as the two rising stars put their undefeated records on the line. This 10-round bout will take place on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano event on Saturday, July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Ashton "H2O" Sylve returns to the ring after a 10-round bout against Brazil’s Estivan Falcao in February. Sylve, ESPN Ringside's 2022 Prospect of the Year, continues to impress, having knocked out veteran William Silva on the Paul vs. Diaz card in August 2023.

“I can't wait to step into the ring with ‘Kid Austin,’” said Sylve. “He's just another stepping stone on my path to greatness and when I'm done with him, he'll wish he never signed the contract.”
Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield Jr., 21, has overcome significant adversity, including poverty and homelessness, to become one of the hottest world title contenders in the lightweight division. Training out of Davies Boxing and Fitness in San Antonio, Texas, Schofield has built an impressive resume with knockout wins since his professional debut in October 2020. In March 2024, he defended his WBA International Lightweight title against Esteuri Suero, who was disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct.
“Being on a card of this magnitude is very important to me. I step into that ring undefeated, and I will leave undefeated. H2O may doubt me, but he’ll soon realize he is facing an unstoppable force.”
The Paul vs. Tyson event, streaming live globally on Netflix, has generated immense global demand, with over 120,000 fans signing up for presale access.
