Euphoria Star Wanna Walton to Make Pro Boxing Debut

Euphoria star Javon “Wanna” Walton is set to make his professional boxing debut as a part of Jake Paul‘s next major boxing event.

Walton, who played the young drug dealer Ashtray in Euphoria, has been training to be a boxer for some time now, and is set to premiere on March 2, 2024, during a boxing card headlined by both Jake Paul and legendary boxer Amanda Serrano.

Paul and Serrano will be co-main events of the card, which is set to take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Walton has a long history of boxing, despite his young age

Prior to his time acting, Walton had been training as a boxer since the age of four, and became one of America’s youngest amateur boxing prospects at the age of eight. He’s also a multi-time Junior Regional Champion and two-time Junior Olympic national silver medalist.

“I’ve been training most of my life for this moment, and it is an honor to make my global debut beside my fellow MVP athletes Amanda Serrano and Jake Paul,” said Walton in a statement.
