Nigel Benn was pretty successful as a big club DJ.

Frank Bruno also had a go at djing but never quite made it.

Joe Frazier used to tour singing Motown hits, he had a residency at one of the Vegas Casinos for a while in the 70's.

Yes, called Joe Frazier and the knockouts I believe. Think Larry Holmes followed with some sort of lounge singing act too.

Jim Watt used to serenade the crowd with Flower of Scotland everytime he defended his title, but never released it as a single for some reason.

Archie Moore recorded a track with jazz musician Lucky Thompson (I think that was his name) whom he was good friends with.

A young Muhammad Ali recorded a song with the late Sam Cooke.

Frazier could actually sing pretty damned good as a I recall.

Archie Moore used to play double bass and saxaphone too, he was a bit of a jazz musician.

Sugar Ray Dabbled with the drums I believe and was a pretty good tap dancer, dabbled with a career as a dancer after he retired.

And who could forget Nigel's single stand and fight.

Frank Bruno recorded a charity record with Eric Clapton many years ago. From what I recall it was pretty dire.

Doesn't stop most of the other mush mouthed rappers from recording.

Can't understand a word Fifty Cent or Kano come out with.

Barry McGuigan released an album back in the early 90s. His dad was a fairly big show band star and used to sing danny boy before Barry's fights.

Glenn Cateley sang his own enterance music, was planning to release it when he was WBC champion. Powerful voice, but wasn't a fan of the song... Sounded like a David Hasselhoff album track.

Robin Reid was a keen DJ/clubber.

I remember meeting him when I was well smashed in Hush in Birmingham a good few years back.

Chewed his ear off about boxing for about half an hour whilst gurning - fair play to Robin he filled me in on the results from a show in Manchester he had been to earlier in the evening!
