‘Euphoria’ Star Javon Walton Personal Bio: Hometown, Age, Family, Relationship Status and More

In boxing, a rising name takes to the canvas now. Super featherweight, Javon Walton has his name registered on the undercard for the San Juan, Puerto Rico fight that Jake Paul and Amanda Serrano will co-headline tomorrow. However, one question needs to be addressed before the glamorous fight. Who is “Wanna” Walton?

Against California-based Joshua Toress, the young Southpaw will hope to grow his nascent professional record. It would be wrong to assume that Walton remains unfamiliar among folks. While it’s hard to argue that he’s a fresh name in core boxing, to most he’s the popular actor who absolutely nailed the role of Ashtray from the iconic HBO show, ‘Euphoria.’ When looked closer, both these career paths, meet at one conjunction: his formative days.

Javon Walton and his family

‘Wanna’ could possibly attribute his keen interest in boxing to the exposure he received to the sport at the hands of his father. He was born on 22nd July 2006, in Atlanta, Georgia to father, DJ, and mother, Jessica Walton. DJ is a boxer by profession, while his mother leads the front as a businessperson.

The youngest boxer on Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, Walton grew up with three siblings. Two brothers, Javon and Dalon, and a sister Jayla, all the three, actors by profession. Javon, however, he shares a special attribute, that of being a fraternal twin. However, many would argue that they look nearly identical.

The 17-year-old, with about 85 fights on his portfolio, won five Georgia state championships and is a two-time Junior Olympic national silver medalist. Ahead of his break into the acting world with Euphoria, Wanna had already begun making ripples in the boxing community. To Seventeen, he made it clear that in his vivid body of work, his role as a boxer takes precedence.
