Simon Chu talks about his upcoming figh with Chaz Mulkey


Simon Chu will be fighting Chaz Mulkey for the WBC Muay Thai international middleweight title at Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 4" on November 19th in Las Vegas, NV. The event will be at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Lion Fight Promotions new home. Muay Thai Authority recently caught up with Simon and he was gracious enough to answer a few questions about the upcoming fight.

MTA: You are fighting Chaz Mulkey on November 19th in Las Vegas, how familiar are you with Chaz as a fighter?

Simon: Chaz is a good all rounder who's on a good winning streak running up to this fight.

MTA: He fought at "Battle in the Desert 3", an event you fought on as well. Did you have a chance to catch any of his fight?

Simon: Yes I remember Chaz's fight at battle of the desert 3 and I have also watched a few of his other fights too.

MTA: How is your training for Chaz going?

Simon: My training's going very well and I'm feeling very confident.

MTA: Is there anything you plan on doing different on this trip compared to your last trip to Nevada? You mentioned you have trouble getting used to the climate.

Simon: Yes I plan to arrive in Nevada earlier than I did for my last fight and I will be finishing the final stages of my training over there. With the two long flights to Vegas and the 8 hour time difference it's definitely needed to perform at your best.

MTA:
Chaz is pretty tall for this weight class, 6'2" I believe. Would you say you have to change your approach depending on the fighters style and things such as height and reach?

Simon: Yes I know Chaz is pretty tall, my approach to the fight will be tailored to him. I don't like to say too much, but yes we have done our homework.

MTA: Any prediction for this fight?

Simon: My prediction is that it's going to be another great fight!

MTA: Any words for your supporters or fans?

Simon: I would like to thank all my fans and supporters on both sides of the Atlantic. Especially those who fly out from the UK to watch, those who tune in to watch via pay per view, and also my American friends and fans for their continued support. It really means a lot to me.

MTA: Thanks a for the time Simon.

Simon: Always a pleasure Nathan, see you there mate.
