Hatton Blue Moon (and Winter Wonderland).

Haye - Aint no stopping us now

Eubank Simply the Best - But if I am not mistaken the fanfare that Eubank had at the start wasn't part of the original song.

Naz only came out to Hotstepper once, but I've always remembered that and associate it with him.
Same on the naz front! He should have used it more, it worked well.

I always associate Thriller with Naz because of that epic ring entrance against McCullough.

Carl Thompson – I've Got The Power (Snap)
Lennox Lewis – The Big Payback (James Brown) in Rahman II
Naz – I remember coming out to Let Me Show You (Camisra), and I always associate that with the early Naz era

More recently George Grove used both Spitfire (Prodigy) and Paint it Black

Once a boxer has used a song it is off limits to all others forever?
Perhaps Haye 'stole' it, perhaps he sees it as a tribute, maybe Holmes didn't enter his mind at all.
Regardless, that is. now a song that many would associate with Haye.

Holmes and ANSN might actually be the first ever example.

Dillian, Jaws and Back in Black. Benn snr and the tolling bells. Tony Bellew and Z Cars. Wlad and Can't Stop. I like when a fighter sticks with the same music, it adds something.

Definately, when Eubank's fanfare used to kick off before Simply the Best the heart would start to beat a bit faster, hairs on the back of the neck would stand up etc..... and yes used to have the same when the intro to "aint no stopping us now" would kick in for Haye.

I'd always associate Naz with "oops there it is".
