Boxing is a sport for the legends. Each time a fighter enters the ring, he leaves a mark on the sport. But when a phenomenon like Curmel Moton does the same, he shifts the entire paradigm of the boxing realm. At least that is what he did. When he emerged victorious against Ezequiel Flores in his maiden pro-fight, the world knew what he held in his mettle.

On the 30th of September, the 17-year-old fighter shook the world with his scathing first-round stoppage. His prowess was so impressive that fighters older than him sought inspiration from him. One of them is the Youtuber-turned-boxer, Jarvis. In a recent revelation, the fighter spoke vividly about his experience from the training sessions he undertook alongside the young Moton.

In a conversation with the boxing insider portal, Boxing Social, the fighter opened up about how impressed he was with Moton’s dedication to the sport. The two fighters trained at the same gym, Mayweather Boxing Club, and have on multiple occasions been seen sparing each other.

Elaborating about the sessions, Jarvis noted, “You know I’ve sparred him countless times, and he’s just, he’s a different breed honestly. He’s going to be a world champion one day. And yeah, it’s crazy to be a part of that journey and to see him rise going from amateur to now professional.” Moton has amassed an intimidating amateur record of 156-7.
