Anyone remember World Championship Boxing on SKY in the early-mid 90's?

Two cracking tunes. One at the start of the show, one at the end.

The Power Station - Some Like It Hot

and Richard Marx - Satisfied.

Anyone else remember these?

Thank you,

i'll have a look.

could stick it on youtube for ya.

copyright permitting.
Thanks, my friend. The only reason I ask is that my 70 year old Dad said to me the other day how he misses that start with 'Some Like It Hot' as the background music and he tried to remember who the boxers were. I said Tyson and he said it was Leonard - Hearns.
I'd give anything to be able to get him that. I'd pay you if I had to mate.

Oh Thank you for trying but, sadly, no. It was when the boxing was on Sky Movies back in the mid 90s (I think). It had Robert Palmer's 'Some Like It Hot' at the start to a montage of classic fights (I seem to remember one was the boxer I can't remember who had the old rubber legs after Tyson had hit him...Berbick, was it?). I think it was Paul Dempsey presenting back in those days.

Anyone have any idea?
