Javon Walton, 'Euphoria' Star, Draws Pro Boxing Fight vs. Joshua Torres | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Javon "Wanna" Walton's professional boxing debut didn't exactly get off to a flying start.

The Euphoria and The Umbrella Academy actor finished with a majority draw against Joshua Torres on Saturday night, with two judges scoring the fight 38-38 and the third giving the 39-37 advantage to Walton.

That earned him mixed reviews on social media after the bout:

Javon "Wanna" Walton gets a split draw in his second pro fight against unheralded Joshua Torres. Credit Walton—an established actor—for making the pivot to boxing but he's going to have to be matched carefully. Torres clipped him a couple of times. Walton, 17, didn't show elite…

MVP promotions gave Javon Walton an 0-1 Pro boxer yet he still struggled immensely <br><br>Was Paul signing Walton a smart move?<a href="">#PaulBourland</a> <a href="">

Wanna is only 17, I think he did well. It's not easy out here when you're so young, walking into the Jay fight at 18 was a lot to unpack.<br><br>Rough night for him no question, but give the kid some time 💯

Wow...Wanna gets a majority draw. He is getting booed mercilessly. This wasn't how they planned it, I'm sure <a href="">#SerranoMeinke</a>

If nothing else, Walton always has his acting career as a pretty solid fallback. He's also just 17 and originally trained to be a boxer before his acting career took off, so he he has a legitimate background in the sport and has time to grow.

Jake Paul, who signed him to Most Valuable Promotions last summer, sees the upside.

"'Wanna' Walton is perfectly positioned to become the face of combat sports over the next decade," Paul told ESPN's Marc Raimondi. "He possesses a rare combination of attributes as he embarks on his professional boxing career—in the boxing ring from the time he was four, Hollywood fame, a large and highly engaged fanbase and, above all, a relentless pursuit of progress."

Time will tell. Saturday night wasn't a great introduction.
