Walton - nicknamed Wanna - is a successful amateur prospect with over 80 amateur bouts and several junior titles to his name.

In July 2023 he was signed by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Walton, who was 17 at the time of his signing, becomes the latest and youngest to be signed to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions banner.

He said: “I’ve been training so hard and working for the majority of my life for this moment.

"MVP feels like family and that’s very important to me. I know they can help me reach my goals in professional boxing and do it in a way that feels special to me.”

Paul and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian added: “Wanna Walton is uniquely positioned to become the face of combat sports over the next decade.

"With an unmatched blend of skills and pedigree, strong values, and a large highly engaged fan base before turning pro, he embodies a true superstar in the making.

“We're honored to welcome Wanna into our family of exceptional athletes and under MVP, he will be headlining global pay-per-view events in no time.

"MVP is leading a new era of boxing and Wanna is the future. We can’t wait to see his greatness unfold.”

MVP also has undisputed champion Amanda Serrano, title contender Shadasia Green and unbeaten up and comer Ashton Sylve signed.

But Walton - who cannot become a professional until 18 in America - will continue as an amateur until 2024.

In the announcement video, Walton signed a contract, hopped in a helicopter and trained alongside Paul and Serrano in Puerto Rico.

He will be coached by his dad DJ, who said: “We see this as an incredible opportunity to make a big impact on Wanna’s entrance into professional boxing.

"The way Nakisa and Jake have been able to disrupt the boxing promotion business in such a considerably short period of time is inspiring. We’re honored to be MVP’s youngest signee.”
