Last month I was fortunate to be asked to provide the music
and lights at Fight Knights Boxing Evening. Organised by the enthusiastic Dean
Knight, and kept in check by the efficient Sarah Knight, the evening consisted
of eight bouts.

As with all great sporting occasions, music plays an
important part to add to the atmosphere. As well as providing the music for
between the rounds and during the interval, I also had to play the individual
boxer’s entrance music. Having the perfect inspirational tune to enter the ring
to is a vital part of a fighter’s preparation. However, trying to get them all
to agree upon their final choice is sometimes a challenge! The threat of playing “Dancing Queen”
is usually enough to make their minds up!
Here are the tunes the boxers chose that evening… and as you
will see, it wasn’t all “Eye Of The Tiger”!!
CJ Knibbs:
“Iron” – Wood Kid
Gagen Atwal: “Ima Boss” – Meek Mill
Sam Clark: “Get It On The Floor” – DMX
Matt Irving: “Fuckin’ In The Bushes” – Oasis
Helen Walking: “Fields Of Fire” – Big Country
Jo Millar: “Wearing My Rolex” – Wiley
Luke Pajor: “Firestarter” – The Prodigy
Alan Denyer: “Jungle” – Professor Green
Luke Crabb: “My Time” – K.Koke
Matt Roe: “The Best” – Tina Turner
Mike Barks: “Omen” – The Prodigy
Michael Kozlowsky: “Stronger” – Kanye West
Barry Horsnell: “I To Move It” – Reel 2 Real
Pascal Davis: “London Calling” – The Clash
Manny Cooper: “Mr Brightside” – The Killers
Bady Touray: “Mr Blobby” – Mr Blobby
Pretty inspirational stuff! Although, I’m guessing the last
one was a weird joke played by Dean on Bady… but it didn’t seem to affect his
performance… the bout was over in
the first round!
I’m looking forward to the next Boxing Evening on 22nd
November, and finding out what all you boxers will be entering the ring to. So
if you don’t want it to be “Dancing Queen”, go and like my Facebook page and
I’ll play your tune!!!
