Professional career

Debut

Wilton turned professional in March 2008 in Letterkenny, Republic of Ireland on an undercard of bill that included Paul McCloskey and Neil Sinclair. In his debut Wilton defeated experienced Hungarian Istvan Ajtai with a first round knockout just over a minute into the fight.[2]
