Henry Cejudo makes his professional boxing debut against Javon Walton on Saturday, September 26, at 6:00pm ET from the James L. Knight Center in Miami. The card streams live on DAZN.
Cejudo was originally set to face Deen The Great, who withdrew injured two weeks before the event. Walton, the 20-year-old actor known for playing Ashtray in HBO’s Euphoria, stepped in as a short-notice replacement. He enters with more ring experience than Cejudo, sporting a 3-0-1 record with one knockout and a unanimous decision win over Anthony Mora last September.
What’s At Stake
- The crossover test: Cejudo is a two-division UFC champion adding boxing as a third combat sport at 39, and this fight is the first real look at how that translates.
- The opponent swap: Walton’s late arrival means Cejudo is facing an actual boxing record instead of the matchup originally booked weeks earlier.
- The experience gap: Walton has fought professionally four times already. Cejudo has zero professional boxing rounds, whatever his combat sports pedigree elsewhere.
