MTA: You are fighting Rami Ibrahim for his WKA title in September how has your training for the fight been going?
Philippe: Training has been going fine running, lots of pads, clinch and sparring as usual. I'm always in the gym so now its just a question of pushing more till the fight.
MTA: How much do you know of Rami Ibrahim and is there anything you feel brings to the fight that can present problems for you?
Philippe: I know he's been very active here. He is the wka champ so obviously he must be good. I know he has a some video’s on youtube but I haven't really watched them I'd rather concentrate on myself and what ill be doing. I don't like planning to much because anyways it never goes as planned. My trainer and training partners watched them so they give me a bit of advice on what to expect. I know he is bigger then me so that will make me approach the fight a certain way but that's about it.
MTA: What advantages do you feel you will have in the fight against Rami?
Philippe: I don't about advantages maybe my experience in Thailand where I've been mostly fighting.
MTA: Being for the WKA title, does it add any pressure as opposed to if it was a non title fight?
Philippe: No not really I put enough pressure on myself for simply winning, it might be more of an incentive.
MTA: Can you give us a prediction for the fight?
Philippe: I can only predict that ill be there in shape and ready to give a good, hard and active fight that will please the fans.
MTA: Beyond this fight what are your current plans for your Muay Thai career?
Philippe: Go back as soon as I can to Thailand to go train and fight there.
MTA: Is there anyone in particular you would like to fight?
Philippe: No not really, just the best there is.
