Glory has announced via Twitter that the UK's Steven Wakeling will now be fighting America's Eddie Walker (@EddieShowtime) at Glory 5 in London on March 23rd. Wakeling was originally announced to be fighting Simon Marcus (@SimonMarcusNo1), but with Marcus signing on to fight Artem Levin (@ArtemLionLevin) a week before at Lion Fight 9, it was pretty clear that bout would not happen.
Wakeling was last in action when he fought to a controversial draw against Artem Levin. Many felt that Wakeling had one the bout and questions about one of the judges score cards surfaced to add to the controversy. Walker was in action in "Road to Glory" middleweight tournament a few weeks back in California. Walker won two bouts on the night to make it to the tournament final where he lost to Mike Lemaire. This will easily be the biggest fight of Walker's career and a win would catapult him to international status.
