Who is Javon Walton: Age, Family, Boxing Career

Javon Walton, a 17-year-old star known for his role in "Euphoria," makes headlines not just in acting but also in the boxing ring. Walton is gearing up for an exciting fight in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on March 2nd. This event shares the spotlight with notable fighters Jake Paul and Amanda Serrano. Tonight, he'll be facing Joshua Toress, who holds a record of 0-1.

Walton's journey into boxing began at the tender age of four. Under the guidance of his father, DJ, a former boxer himself, Walton quickly developed a passion and talent for the sport. By age 8, he stepped into his first competition at the Ringside World Championships in Kansas City. Despite not performing well, Walton showcased remarkable resilience.

Throughout his amateur career, Walton claims to have fought in 85 bouts, although Boxrec records it as 20-9. His journey includes battles against Floyd Mayweather’s protégé, Curmel Moton, twice and winning silver medals at the Junior Olympics—twice by the mere age of 10. It was at this point he decided to pursue professional boxing.

Parallel to his boxing career, Walton gained significant attention as ‘Ashtray’ in "Euphoria." His skills in boxing were crucial for this role and were initially noticed when a clip of him boxing went viral, leading to an appearance on Steve Harvey's talk show in 2017. Although he paused his dream of boxing for acting back then, he hasn't left the ring behind.

Walton aims to become a world champion within the next five years—a goal he discussed in an ESPN interview. He's now preparing to fight again; this time against a 32-year-old opponent on an international platform.

As Javon Walton transitions back to boxing with ambitious goals and a promising future ahead of him, both fans of "Euphoria" and fighting sports are keenly watching this young talent's journey from TV screens to combat rings.
