Two years ago he suffered a knockout loss to ‘The Monster’ Naoya Inoue. A year later, ‘The Filipino Flash’ made his return but suffered his eighth career loss to Alexandro Santiago on July 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in the WBC bantamweight title fight. Donaire remains the first boxer who became a three-time champion in the same weight class.

Records show that Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton made his professional boxing debut on December 20 last year at an event in Santo Domingo. His next bout was on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Ryan Bourland fight, where he faced Joshua Torres in a four-round match that ended in a split-decision draw. Walton was initially scheduled to return for MVP Prospects 8 in Orlando on September 6 but had to withdraw due to a medical condition.

Jake Paul and MVP’s latest event, featuring the highly anticipated fight against Mike Tyson, boasted a stellar panel of commentators. Fans can look forward to an exhilarating night of fights enriched by expert analysis.
