Shout Out Fight Podcast #155 - "A man and his Dog - Mr. Eddie Farrell"

WELCOME TO 2026 PODCAST FRIENDS!** again.... I am still trying to fix my audio issues, it's driving me NUTS!! but immediately after this podcast, I spent 3 hours getting to the bottom of it. since using a new program I have been having issues, BUT I AM CONFIDENT THAT IS NO LONGER - in this case it was a blessing in disguise as the echo in the first minute goes away once the audio frigged up.. I just ask for a lil patients. ON TO THE PODCASTToday I got to bring in the New Year with world Muay Thai champion, international coach & gym owner, Mr Eddie Farrell from Australia. If you follow Muay Thai on instagram - their's a good chance you know who Eddie is! Eddie has travelled all over the world fighting all styles of combat including Muay Thai, Lethwei, Kun Khmer and Karate Combat to name a few. Eddie and his family have lived the Muay Thai lifestyle fighting, training, coaching around the world including Australia (home), Thailand and Mexico. But recently has decided it time to plant roots again at home in Australia where he is building a new gym as I write this! We talk about how Eddie decided to around the world, the quick pivot needed when cov!d struck, the difficulty they had running a gym in Mexico and why it was time to go "home". Eddie also talks about having a few fights left in him before hanging up the gloves and getting set to close that chapter on his life. As this has been a popular topic on the podcast, it was refreshing to hear a fighter's fighter talk about it logically and from what it sounds like - being truly comfortable and ready to leave it behind him when it's time. I totally admit, Eddie is a big, scary, stoic looking fella - i wanted to ask him for a while now but was nervous. I grew a pair over the holidays to ask him, and Eddie was gracious enough to give me his time on New Years Day at 6:30am. DEFINITELY A STORY A LOT OF US WANTED TO HEAR! - I had a ton of requests to get Eddie on and we were able to make it happen.SHOUT OUT TO YOU EDDIE!!
