What is the most interesting ring entrance music you have seen a fighter come in to? I always enjoy Bernard Hopkins warrior himself into the ring at an advanced age. Absolute legend! One of my favorite one is BHop entering to "My Way" and winning the title. "Bernaaard at 46..... no draw tonight.... he'll do it his way". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-j1RYu ... freload=10

I also like Tyson Fury's entrances against Chisora and Klitschko. The one against Klitschko gave me shivers down my spine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsFNIqFduB0&spfreload=10 As well Del Boy's choice of music.

Do you remember someone entering the ring to the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Modern Talking, Leonard Cohen, Frank Sinatra? Or some other rather unusual choice? Would be interesting to hear. Thank you!

And note that that was a long long time ago, when he hasn't had that many fights on his name yet.

Big Wlads ring walk is class! Best I've seen is Framptons when he fought Quigg. Belfast child into Jay-Z! Awesome!

Yeah i was the same mate. Been to see Frampton a few times in Belfast and the atmosphere is outstanding! Met him a couple of times too

A UFC fighter once used Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club. It was years back but pretty sure it was Tom Lawlor.

Not boxing but still quality:

Not a big fan of the ott ring entrances. Don't add to the drama of quality fight imo.

Having said that, Bowe coming in to Phil Collins against Holyfield was pretty special.

Jim Rock had Children by Robert Miles back in '96. I never would have thought of that as a good call, it worked very well though.

Cant remember what Frampton fight it was but i remember him coming in to Housemartins "Caravan of Love" then it broke into James Brown's "The Boss"

It was the damage as was Jody Meikle coming to Barbie Girl by Aqua

Daigo Higa came in to Conquistador last time out, was cool given his mentor used it too

My two favourite ring walks are:

Tyson vs Spinks
Vitali vs Peter

The most interesting entrance music was the rap song played by Kostya Tszyu before his fight with Zab Judah. Zab was in the ring and listening to it and seemed to be effected by it... The rapper was screaming "I'M gonna knock the FUK OUT CHA. YA ALL be wearing your ASS for a HAT!!" and a lot of obscene and ridiculous stuff like I've never heard in my life from a ring-walk song. I thought it was interesting.

Judah seemed intimidated like he was thinking "what kind of fukd up music is that?" Zab is a little psycho so he was a great target for that type of button pushing. When Tszyu arrived in the ring he seemed angry and almost possessed. His timing was way off in the first round which he lost big. But he kept flinging and flinging lethal right hands and wiping his nose disdainfully. In the 2nd the commentators mentioned KT was starting to get his timing and he really got on his horse... He got zoned in with his right and BOOM Judah was down. The kind of shot you need to gather your senses before you jump up - something trainers tell rooks over and over again. Hot headed Judah rashly jumped to his feet - his balance destroyed. His legs went into a crazy chicken dance as he embarrassedly stuck one arm out as if to tell the referee "wait a minute brother.. wait a minute here" as everybody watched in rapt fascination Zab’s legs went crazy and he did a vaudeville pratfall on his face as Jay Nady waved the fight off. I was LMFAO!!!

Judah wasn’t done for the night. In the next couple minutes he displayed the most amazing lack of sportsmanship in Boxing History. He grabbed a stool and tried to throw it at Nady. He broke away for his team and stuck his fist in the referee’s throat. Nady didn’t try to deflect it or push Zab’s arm away. He seemed compassionately concerned for Judah’s mental health. Nady wasn’t angry at all. The commentators asked him if he felt threatened. He very mutedly but firmly said “NO” I thought that was very interesting, because it wouldn’t the reaction of too many refs. Comedians did jokes about that fight for years. “Ya all watch the Zab fight?”
