If you trust and have faith in your coach then ignore advice from strangers and do what your coach tells you.
If you do not, don't fight until you have found the right trainer.

Just seen your post and hope your fight preparation has gone well and your coaches have you mentally ready for the fight.

probably already know what I'm about to advise if you've been training more in Muay Thai over Boxing and again your coaches will have you right on fight night.
Keep your guard tighter, A muay thai guard is naturally more open so you can defend against kicks and sweeps but now that range of attack is limited to just their fists, its less to watch for but depending on your range it'll get harder o predict their punches if you're too close.

Watch their head movement too, a boxer's head movement is different from Muay thai and if you're both beginners you might see he has his own rhythm, where and how he'll move his head will be engrained into him in the gym and he'll try to use that

Keep your boxing stance strong too, obvious advise here but the temptation to move your legs wider or closer to set up a kick will be natural, ignore that feeling and stay strong in setting up your punches with your movement.

Last but least, stay busy, if it's a judge based fight, they'll typically give the fight to the busier boxer, use that jab to score points and get your range, if he presses in, fight back, don't let your opponent dictate what happens in the fight, impose your own will.
Win or lose if you fight hard your opponent and the people watching won't forget how hard you worked or made them work and you've had more guts stepping in there then 90% of people who ever watch the fights.
