Career

Despite being so young, Walton has a pretty impressive resume.

He started training at four years old after his father finally took him to the gym after plenty of begging. It was there that he met many famous boxers which made him even more interested in the sport.

When he was eight years old, he qualified for the Junior Olympics in boxing. At age 11, he was the only child in the state of Georgia to hold State Championship titles in gymnastics and boxing.

He is also the first person in Georgia to hold both champion titles at the same time.
