Walker (17-1, 16 KOs) won the UBO Continental
(North America) title last July, stopping Rudy
Montenegro in round seven. Since then he has
kept incredibly busy, adding five additional
stoppage wins to his record in non-title bouts.
Eduardo Reis (25-12, 19 KOs), a former WBU world
title-challenger, is by far the most experienced
foe Walker will have shared a ring with, and he
proved in his last outing that he is not one to
let the local favourite have his way.
On September 28 in Skowhegan, Maine, Reis won a
unanimous decision over former UBO All-America
and International titlist Brandon Berry, to win
the WPBF Inter-Continental belt.

Having been in with the likes of recent WBC world
champion Robson Conceicao, and quality operators
Gabriel Flores Jr., Pablo Cruz, Thomas Mattice and
Feargal McCrory, to name a few, Reis has seen it
all, and will be looking to cause another upset on
January 30.
Walker vs. Reis for the vacant UBO International
Welterweight title will be the main event of
“Sioux Falls Boxing Classic III”, promoted by 15th
Round Promotions.
A strong undercard will be topped by former UBO
world Lightweight champion Stevie Morgan taking on
six-time world title-challenger Marisa Joana
Poritllo in a non title bout.
