Javon 'Wanna' Walton, known for his role in the hit series Euphoria, made his professional boxing debut against Joshua Torres in a super featherweight bout at Most Valuable Promotion's inaugural event in Puerto Rico. The highly anticipated matchup took place on March 2 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, marking a significant moment in Walton's budding boxing career.

Despite the buildup surrounding his debut, the fight ended in a somewhat anticlimactic manner, with Walton and Torres battling to a majority draw on Saturday night. While two judges scored the bout evenly at 38-38, a third judge gave Walton a slight advantage with a score of 39-37, prompting varied reactions from fans on social media.

Following the announcement of the draw, fans took to the comments section to express their opinions on the outcome. One fan criticized the fight, stating, ''Easily the worst professional fight I've ever seen,'' highlighting the disappointment felt by some spectators regarding the overall performance.

Walton's journey into professional boxing began last year when he inked a deal with MVP, the boxing promotion company co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian. Under MVP's guidance, Walton has received support in event marketing, content creation, and brand building as he navigates the transition from acting to boxing.
