Edward Patrick "Mickey" Walker (July 13, 1903 (some sources indicate 1901) – April 28, 1981) was an American professional boxer who held both the Undisputed World Welterweight and Undisputed World Middleweight Championships at different points in his career.
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, he was also an avid golfer and would later be recognized as a renowned artist. Mickey Walker lived in Rumson, New Jersey, where he trained and was known as "The Rumson Bulldog". He married Maude Kelly in 1923, and they settled in Rumson with their two children. Walker was nicknamed "The Rumson Bulldog" by the press, which he reportedly liked. The Rumson Fair-Haven Regional High School later adopted the "Bulldogs" mascot, a nod to their famous resident.
