The fight will be at 180 lbs. Full Rules Muay Thai sanc­tioned by the WBC. Joe Schilling is com­ing off a win against Kara­pet Kara­petyan after two con­sec­u­tive losses to Simon Mar­cus at the two pre­vi­ous Lion Fight Promotions.

Total Muay Thai: For Muay Thai fans who are not famil­iar with you, what is your Muay Thai back­ground? Who is your trainer?

Eddie Walker: I started train­ing Muay Thai around 5 years ago, just to get in shape and fell in love with it since then. Yes, I train under 6x World Cham­pion Manu NToh.

Total Muay Thai: Is coach Manu NToh & active fighter? because he’s cur­rently ranked num­ber 3 in the WBC light heavy­weight rankings.

Eddie Walker: You would have to ask him that ques­tion, although he still kicks my ass in the gym! Lol!

Total Muay Thai: You’re fight­ing Joe Schilling at 180 lbs. Are you famil­iar with Joe as a fighter? What do you know about his fight­ing style, and what are you going to look out for?

Eddie Walker: I’m famil­iar with Joe. I have fol­lowed him for a while, just as a fan of Muay Thai. He is a very explo­sive fighter. Fights with a lot of anger. It’s def­i­nitely going to be a tough fight that I’m look­ing for­ward too.

Total Muay Thai: Do you usu­ally stick to a rou­tine train­ing reg­i­ment, or are you and your camp work­ing on a game plan to beat Joe?

Eddie Walker: I don’t see any rea­son to change-up any­thing that I nor­mally do. Of course you have to make some minor changes for every fighter, but mostly still the same training.

Total Muay Thai: Joe Schilling is known to have pic­tures of his oppo­nents up in his car, so he can look at them when he’s pissed off in traf­fic. Do you have any pic­tures of Joe anywhere?

Eddie Walker: Sounds to me like Joe is lonely and needs a hug. No I don’t have any pic­tures of Joe lying around. There is no need in me to make myself angry over stu­pid shit, when the time is right, I will be angry enough.

Total Muay Thai: Schilling likes to throw elbows, that’s how he got his nick­name “stitch em up” from cut­ting his oppo­nents with elbows. How about you? Do you like to throw a lot of elbows? What do you con­sider your strongest Muay Thai weapon?

Eddie Walker: Every­one thinks that elbows are easy to throw and Joe has become very good at throw­ing them, but I don’t nec­es­sar­ily look to throw them all the time. I don’t think I have a cer­tain “weapon”. I just fight. What ever works, works.

Total Muay Thai: Is this your first time fight­ing in Las Vegas? Are you excited to fight in the fight cap­i­tal of the world?

Eddie Walker: This is my first time fight­ing in Vegas and I think my wife is more excited than I am. The venue doesn’t mat­ter to me as much as the actual fight does.

Total Muay Thai: Were you sup­posed to fight at the K-1 show in Los Ange­les? Will you be fight­ing on any of their future shows?

Eddie Walker: Fight­ing for K-1 is at their dis­cre­tion, so I’m just wait­ing. smile

Total Muay Thai: Are you both a lover, and a fighter?

Eddie Walker: Yes I do love to fight. smile

Total Muay Thai: Any last words?

Eddie Walker: I would like to thank Lion Fight Pro­mo­tions for giv­ing me this oppor­tu­nity to show every­one in the Muay Thai scene who I am. I am really look­ing for­ward to this fight and I plan on putting on a really good show as always!
