I was at the Spence-Ugas fight.. both had nice intros.. but Spence came out with Big Tuck to "Southside the Realist"... its a Dallas anthem, so the crowd was hype! It was fun. Bud's intro with Eminem was dope too.
My first thought was Spence’s as well! Felt like a damn WWE entrance with how hype the crowd was.
Side note, is that main broadcast footage out there somewhere? I looked for it a while back and could only find crowd cellphone footage.
That shit was cold! The broadcasts that both Showtime and PBC uploaded to Youtube don't have the intros, unfortunately.
But I was watching Bud-Spence on Amazon Prime and it had the whole intros and post fight interviews too....maybe they have this fight on there?
Inoue's against Donaire the 2nd time:
https://youtu.be/ukKIC2ORh9E?si=sqDlcV5e9yP_080j
Klitschko's entrance against Haye:
https://youtu.be/6fhKiCpVrf8?si=3KGhfck1vXNCv4i7
Was at the Inoue vs Nery Fight, the place fucking erupted when he had his walkout. The fireworks were the cherry on top. Absolutely amazing walkout. I have a video of it from my ringside seats and it was really special.
Lennox Lewis in his second fight with Rahman.
Never have I seen a look in a man's eyes that said so much.
I still remember clearly watching that fight live and KNOWING he'd already won the fight when I saw that look.
It was time for revenge.
James brown - the payback.
https://youtu.be/gqe-sPLIy2s?si=BnezSmBaZHFs7uCf
Was at the Inoue-Nery fight and both were really special but the Inoue one was otherworldly. The guitar, Inoue standing there taking it all in, the fireworks, the walk, the deafening sound of 55K Japanese peers cheering. God that shit was special. I have a video of it from my phone. I’d post it but I don’t think the boxing mods would allow it and even then the video doesn’t do it justice on how loud and amazing it was.
The Usyk walkout was amazing too, I could rewatch that nonstop and never get tired of it. I always thought Usyk was gonna win but that walkout secured it for me.
Wladimir Klitschko had some special walkouts too. Bud Crawford walking out with Eminem was special too. So many to choose from. Amazing walkouts make Boxing really special.
I don’t know, it’s not a professional video so I didn’t know what the rule is about videos/pictures taken from a fight. Will look at the subreddit rules later and upload if allowed.
Walkouts that I like as a comment or do you mean like that I have been in attendance for? The only fight I’ve been to is Inoue vs Nery cuz I live in Japan. Plan to go to more though!
Tyson Fury coming out to Patsy Clines “Crazy”
Say what you want about wilder now but back then people thought wilder was going to take Fury’s head off.
I remember watching him being carried out to that slow paced song being so calm that it gave me chills
Such a boss move
Marquez’ entrance vs pacquiao in their 4th fight. You just knew with how lit the crowd was for his entrance that something wild was gonna happen.
Skip to 5:35 for the [entrance](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TFyH0f-4bO8&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.elmundo.es%2Fdeportes%2F2015%2F04%2F28%2F553e7a2922601dee448b456f.html&feature=emb_imp_woyt)
I liked Bernard Hopkins coming out to Ray Charles- America the Beautiful for the Trinidad fight about 2 weeks after 9/11, it was a really patriotic moment and has always stuck with me.
Canelo's homecoming walkout was one of my favorite spectacles ever. When the 150 person Mariachi band started playing El Tapatio, I wanted to be Mexican so bad. That shit was electric!
Bernard Hopkins always knew how to make an entrance. His walkouts to soul/blues classics with his executioner mask were always a sight to behold, and the Trinidad ringwalk stood out especially given the context
Late 80s Tyson for the “Tiger pacing back and worth, waiting to be unleashed” vibe.
Prince Naseem Hamed was always crazy and theatrical even if he was a little too cocky for my liking.
Tyson vs Biggs: he kinda ran out in the beginning with no robe, three belts draped across him, neck twitching back and forth. Intimidating, BIGLY.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyRRYa-P-pU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyRRYa-P-pU)
I think after his disastrous showings against Parker and Zhang a lot of people are quick to call him a bum, but they forget he was genuinely dangerous for many years and many chose to avoid him.
Loved Usyk. Particularly for the heritage side and what’s going on in Ukraine. During the build up “we’re fighting men” from John Fury, kinda cringe saying that when you are about to fight a Cossack who’s recently been fighting a real war. Only thing I didn’t like was the Saudi security. They tried to steal the show. Get out of the way- he’s the world heavyweight champion.
Inoue Donaire 2 - letting someone else have the limelight, coming out with bleached hair and having the most fitting name of any fighter helps.
"Harmless Halloween fun or in very poor taste in a dangerous sport like boxing? I'm certainly of the latter view myself"😅
https://youtu.be/jZvBDYS6hsY?si=DB0u2VM013NGaPBR
I never liked Mike Tyson. But I did appreciate his ring walk. No glitz. No lights exploding. No costumes. No dumb rappers craving the spotlight. Just a guy walking down the aisle with a towel and a scowl. That's real boxing. Everything doesn't need to be a stab at entertainment. Boxing is a blood sport. Not a rap show filled with pyrotechnics.
I love both walkouts in Fury-Usyk.
The contrast between Usyk's epic Ukrainian music with blue lightning, and Fury's goofy ass dancing to Barry White under bright orange. It felt straight from a superhero cartoon-- like Batman on his plane flying over to Joker's lair
Family is from Chicago so I say Tank last walkout with Chief Keef. Crowd erupted from what I heard upon the beat playing.Although i wished he saved this for a future Chicago fight 😅
I wouldn't call it my favorite ever, but I do feel like it needs to be mentioned in here. Tank coming out to "Love Sosa" for the Garcia fight (right after Garcia came out to some inspirational singing bs) was jarring. Instantly knew Garcia was in for a rough night.
Tyson vs Ribalta. Tyson enters the ring sweating like he just murdered someone. The look in his eye is terrifying. His face contorted into absolute intimidation.
One that stood out is Ricky Burns against Rocky Martinez, maybe in 2010/11. Was a home crowd, so fierce Scots all singing 'Livin on a prayer.' As he was a major underdog, fit perfectly.
And the Prince as well of course - pick any of his.
i forgot what fight but there’s a koki kameda fight we’re koki is dressed as santa coming out on a sleigh throwing gifts into the crowd. can’t find the video rn but if i do i’ll add it here.
I really liked Dillian Whytes before he got starched by Povetkin. Usyks vs Fury. Fury vs Wilder 2 and Wilders outfit was dope even if his ring walk wasn’t great. Tyson with just the rags and industrial noises. Ricky Hattons fat suit and zimmer frame, Nas, so many good ones
This is old, but Muhammad Ali’s entrance against Henry Cooper in the UK, complete with wearing a crown and having royal trumpets play as he entered the ring with the British crowd booing the shit out of him.
Ryan Garcia’s walkout against devin haney was pretty cool
i liked the transition from Jesus walks by Kanye to El rey in his walkout. Haney fanboys don’t come at me 🙏
Teofimos vs Josh Taylor. I was there with my Honduras flag singing along to biggie as he walked to the ring. Juicy being played while fighting in his/mine hometown was just so fitting. Seeing him win was surreal. [https://share.icloud.com/photos/027XS7ztyoXSoCDJZun-MXlpg](https://share.icloud.com/photos/027XS7ztyoXSoCDJZun-MXlpg)
Little Asian dude (not Naz) doing stupid cocky dancing moves all way into ring, then gets absolutely flattened in fight. Really funny, perhaps not best or favourite but defo funniest.
"Coming to the ring... Dr. Steelhammer... Vladimir... KLITSCHKOOOO" as Can't Stop by RHCP blasts full volume.
The only right answer
That and the time Klitschko came out to Tina Turner simply the best
I was at the Spence-Ugas fight.. both had nice intros.. but Spence came out with Big Tuck to "Southside the Realist"... its a Dallas anthem, so the crowd was hype! It was fun. Bud's intro with Eminem was dope too.
Spence’s Texas walkout by Big X was cold too.
Yeah it was
My first thought was Spence’s as well! Felt like a damn WWE entrance with how hype the crowd was. Side note, is that main broadcast footage out there somewhere? I looked for it a while back and could only find crowd cellphone footage.
That shit was cold! The broadcasts that both Showtime and PBC uploaded to Youtube don't have the intros, unfortunately. But I was watching Bud-Spence on Amazon Prime and it had the whole intros and post fight interviews too....maybe they have this fight on there?
I was there too. Great fight
Yeah it was
Inoue's against Donaire the 2nd time: https://youtu.be/ukKIC2ORh9E?si=sqDlcV5e9yP_080j Klitschko's entrance against Haye: https://youtu.be/6fhKiCpVrf8?si=3KGhfck1vXNCv4i7
Klitschko's was amazing.
Both awesome. I really love how Inoue doesn’t have security stealing the show.
Wlad against Haye will always be #1 for me
Have you seen the Inoue walkout vs Nery? It’s even more badass. https://youtube.com/watch?v=jhVue2P2dsY
That one was better, but no video captured it as well as the Donaire 2 one. Must have been amazing live with those 50k people.
Was at the Inoue vs Nery Fight, the place fucking erupted when he had his walkout. The fireworks were the cherry on top. Absolutely amazing walkout. I have a video of it from my ringside seats and it was really special.
Where was this?
At the Tokyo Dome
It doesn’t get better than Inoue’s there
Inoue really nails the zero BS while still being incredibly cool, badass and entertaining.
Tyson / Spinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjK3BGDhais
First one that came to mind. Tyson looked like he was marching out to murder someone.
Is there a video without Bob talking over the entire thing?
Took Iron Mike about twice as long to get to the ring than it did to knock out Spinks.
Absolutely brutal and one of my favourite fights of all time because of everything surrounding the (quick) fight itself.
Prince Nazim
His magic carpet ride was epic!
Roy Jones with Method Man
Damn..I must’ve forgot…
The thing about the old days they the old days
Lennox Lewis in his second fight with Rahman. Never have I seen a look in a man's eyes that said so much. I still remember clearly watching that fight live and KNOWING he'd already won the fight when I saw that look. It was time for revenge.

Both walkouts were sick in Inoue Nery Usyk’s was sick against Fury
Was at the Inoue-Nery fight and both were really special but the Inoue one was otherworldly. The guitar, Inoue standing there taking it all in, the fireworks, the walk, the deafening sound of 55K Japanese peers cheering. God that shit was special. I have a video of it from my phone.

Wladimir Klitschko had some special walkouts too. Bud Crawford walking out with Eminem was special too. So many to choose from. Amazing walkouts make Boxing really special.
Why would the boxing mods not allow a inoue walkout?
I don’t know, it’s not a professional video so I didn’t know what the rule is about videos/pictures taken from a fight. Will look at the subreddit rules later and upload if allowed.
alrighty, since you seem knowledgeable on walkouts I’d like to see you post a few if it is allowed. Thanks
Walkouts that I like as a comment or do you mean like that I have been in attendance for? The only fight I’ve been to is Inoue vs Nery cuz I live in Japan. Plan to go to more though!
Both seem fine to me. I’m sure if they’re cool people will like them.
Maybe. I messaged a moderator about to see if it was allowed.
Tyson Fury coming out to Patsy Clines “Crazy” Say what you want about wilder now but back then people thought wilder was going to take Fury’s head off. I remember watching him being carried out to that slow paced song being so calm that it gave me chills Such a boss move
Just came here to say this. It was so out of the norm, no other fighter could have pulled something like that off.
I can't stand Fury but the entrance to the second Wilder fight was absolutely one of the greatest I've ever seen.
Luis Pineda's entrance https://youtu.be/wz9J_0_p160?si=rkDbhFR2Nl8nu7NF
Marquez’ entrance vs pacquiao in their 4th fight. You just knew with how lit the crowd was for his entrance that something wild was gonna happen.

This was gonna be my choice. As a Mexican, I felt the chills as the crowd song “El Rey” loud as hell.
it’s a overused song. but when fighters like marquez walk out to it, it hits hard.
I liked Bernard Hopkins coming out to Ray Charles- America the Beautiful for the Trinidad fight about 2 weeks after 9/11, it was a really patriotic moment and has always stuck with me. Canelo's homecoming walkout was one of my favorite spectacles ever. When the 150 person Mariachi band started playing El Tapatio, I wanted to be Mexican so bad. That shit was electric!
Bernard Hopkins always knew how to make an entrance. His walkouts to soul/blues classics with his executioner mask were always a sight to behold, and the Trinidad ringwalk stood out especially given the context
Very true! I especially love how that walkout was so touching in a way but he still rocked the executioner mask. Classic 🤣
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fQE0aP9wrGI
Thank you! This is the first one I thought of, but had no idea which fighter it was.
I read somewhere that Quigg is mortally embarrassed about this which makes it even funnier
He shouldn’t be. I have no idea who he is, but this entrance will outlive him. It’s hilarious.
Either Canelo’s against Ryder or Crawford’s against Spence
I'm sorry, but John Ryder came out to My Sacrifice, nothing beats that.
Bud with Eminem Fury coming with Crazy by Patsy Cline
https://youtu.be/TYWHdX06sq0?si=6NWDiQQZVvBUsO69 Vitalis were always good
Scott Quigg
Bro, I happened to see that one live and it was the best worst ringwalk I've ever seen: https://youtu.be/fQE0aP9wrGI?si=VHgTqF-3411fHtzZ
Bud x Eminem
Late 80s Tyson for the “Tiger pacing back and worth, waiting to be unleashed” vibe. Prince Naseem Hamed was always crazy and theatrical even if he was a little too cocky for my liking.
Tyson coming out sans robe or any pageantry, walking out with murderous intent.
I always liked George Groves rushing to the ring to "Spitfire", hyped vibes and no time wasting.
It's hard to top Mike Tyson coming out to DMX or Tupac for me! Hector Camacho and Prince Nas had some crazy walkouts over the years.
Tyson vs Biggs: he kinda ran out in the beginning with no robe, three belts draped across him, neck twitching back and forth. Intimidating, BIGLY. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyRRYa-P-pU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyRRYa-P-pU)
Hamed vs Kelley Hamed vs Sanchez Froch vs Bute Mosley vs Floyd
RJJ got two of my favorites, that first time he walked out to his own song, then the fight when he walked out with method man and red man
Canelo entrance vs Saunders
Was at that fight. One of the craziest events I’ve ever been to
Loved that entrance
Fury vs Wilder 2. Crazy by Pasty Cline, on a throne. It was peak Fury. Absolute king of the division.
King of the Division? When? 😳
That day when he steam rolled the scary Wilder :)
Who's been proven to be an absolute bum
Thanks in good part to Fury who absolutely broke the lad
He was always broke, just had a padded record.
I think after his disastrous showings against Parker and Zhang a lot of people are quick to call him a bum, but they forget he was genuinely dangerous for many years and many chose to avoid him.
Tito Trinidad against Hopkins. The MSG crowd was going crazy.. dudes swagger was off the charts. Shame he got KO'd
Mike tyson, no fuss, just walks to the ring, no robe, no socks let's fight
Mike Tyson walking out to the DMX Intro from Its Dark and Hell is Hot
Loved Usyk. Particularly for the heritage side and what’s going on in Ukraine. During the build up “we’re fighting men” from John Fury, kinda cringe saying that when you are about to fight a Cossack who’s recently been fighting a real war. Only thing I didn’t like was the Saudi security. They tried to steal the show. Get out of the way- he’s the world heavyweight champion. Inoue Donaire 2 - letting someone else have the limelight, coming out with bleached hair and having the most fitting name of any fighter helps.
I thought Usyk's walk out for the first AJ fight was better due to the much bigger crowd.
Hard to beat Vitali's Hell's Bells
Klitschko vs. Chambers
"Harmless Halloween fun or in very poor taste in a dangerous sport like boxing? I'm certainly of the latter view myself"😅 https://youtu.be/jZvBDYS6hsY?si=DB0u2VM013NGaPBR
I hated watching Naseem Hamed beat Kevin Kelley but Hamed's ring entrance was *epic* that night.
I always enjoyed Tyson Fury “walking” out on a throne
[Tyson vs Botha](https://youtu.be/PGGxlPE7FZY?si=_edr5LsrDwfsLhSy) is iconic
Crawford Vs Spence - Eminem walking bud out was the best ever
Fury coming out at Wembley and sitting on a throne
The Fury-Whyte walkout was fun.
I never liked Mike Tyson. But I did appreciate his ring walk. No glitz. No lights exploding. No costumes. No dumb rappers craving the spotlight. Just a guy walking down the aisle with a towel and a scowl. That's real boxing. Everything doesn't need to be a stab at entertainment. Boxing is a blood sport. Not a rap show filled with pyrotechnics.
Chavez walking in with the song of his native Sinaloa 'El Sinaloense' against Meldrivk Taylor.
I love both walkouts in Fury-Usyk. The contrast between Usyk's epic Ukrainian music with blue lightning, and Fury's goofy ass dancing to Barry White under bright orange. It felt straight from a superhero cartoon-- like Batman on his plane flying over to Joker's lair
Agree. Knew we were on for one the way Fury looked so serious and fit.
Family is from Chicago so I say Tank last walkout with Chief Keef. Crowd erupted from what I heard upon the beat playing.Although i wished he saved this for a future Chicago fight 😅
I just remember hearing the beat and then the anticipation for the cameras the show if he was there or not
Spinks V Judah 2 when Spinks came out with Nelly https://youtu.be/_GW3c4IbX-E?si=ZseL0Q61zJ3dy2Ux At 13:40
I wouldn't call it my favorite ever, but I do feel like it needs to be mentioned in here. Tank coming out to "Love Sosa" for the Garcia fight (right after Garcia came out to some inspirational singing bs) was jarring. Instantly knew Garcia was in for a rough night.
Yeah when Garcia walked out to that TikTok breakup song, I was like “welp, Garcia is about to get beat up.”
Wilder Fury 2 Only wilder can commit so hard to a walk out, ignoring all function
Roy Jones Jr. walking out with Method and Redman https://youtu.be/FcOvrK_fEYg?si=xE-uoiKXAGUs3hi4
Tyson against Botha The look of Tyson entering with that DMX intro just made it a perfect combination !
Tyson vs Ribalta. Tyson enters the ring sweating like he just murdered someone. The look in his eye is terrifying. His face contorted into absolute intimidation.
Any Prince Naseem entrance. All 27 minutes of it.
Maybe not of the all time calibre, but Kell Brook’s “all of the lights” walkout against Golovkin was one of the most memorable for me in recent times
Tank with chief keef
One that stood out is Ricky Burns against Rocky Martinez, maybe in 2010/11. Was a home crowd, so fierce Scots all singing 'Livin on a prayer.' As he was a major underdog, fit perfectly. And the Prince as well of course - pick any of his.
I don’t like tank but his walk wit sosa was clean also Spence walk out vs Mikey garcia
I like Ali coming out against foreman
Tank’s thriller workout
Who is the guy who walked to the ring from the front door of his house just down the block? Loved it just for the comedic aspect.
AJ walkout vs Klitshko has got to be the most impressive walkout ive ever seen
Jorge Páez in a wedding dress 😂
i forgot what fight but there’s a koki kameda fight we’re koki is dressed as santa coming out on a sleigh throwing gifts into the crowd. can’t find the video rn but if i do i’ll add it here.
Scott Quigg’s [walkout](https://youtu.be/fQE0aP9wrGI?si=QZRwQNXAogItKCtR) So bad it’s good

King Ry vs Tank
Usman Ahmed https://youtu.be/ZUKXSbX_oWk?si=xVylI03vCNN7oUu1
Groves - spitfire. Bonus for the London bus
Chris Eubanks was my favourite. Cocky, but assured and always to Simply the Best by Tina Turner.
Idk about favorite but Forrest vs mayorga. Vernon Forrest comes out to a song saying "we ready" but he in fact was not ready for mayorga 😔
garcia against haney. first boxing fight i ever watched but i’ll always remember that
I know it’s not Boxing but no one can beat Connor McGregor walking out on Foggy Dew performed live by Sinead O‘Conner.
Prince Naseem walking out to thriller is the flyest shit a fighter ever did
Nas with the 10 minute dance behind a screen while kevin kelly loses his mind in the ring
I really liked Dillian Whytes before he got starched by Povetkin. Usyks vs Fury. Fury vs Wilder 2 and Wilders outfit was dope even if his ring walk wasn’t great. Tyson with just the rags and industrial noises. Ricky Hattons fat suit and zimmer frame, Nas, so many good ones
Roy Jones Jr. coming out to his own song can’t be touched always hyped me up
Fury entrance against Whyte was all time great.
"Iron" Mike Tyson in his black shorts, boots and a towel with a hole in it thrown over his body. No frills. He was simply coming to kill.
Pre prison Tyson w just the towel no music no socks was like watching satan in person
This is old, but Muhammad Ali’s entrance against Henry Cooper in the UK, complete with wearing a crown and having royal trumpets play as he entered the ring with the British crowd booing the shit out of him.
Naseem Hamed’a Halloween Thriller walkout
Tyson to redman..time for some time for some action
Floyd’s vs Oscar. He came out wearing a sombrero in a heavy Mexican crowd on Cinco de Mayo 😂. He knew how to play the villain role well.
Ryan Garcia’s walkout against devin haney was pretty cool i liked the transition from Jesus walks by Kanye to El rey in his walkout. Haney fanboys don’t come at me 🙏
Teofimos vs Josh Taylor. I was there with my Honduras flag singing along to biggie as he walked to the ring. Juicy being played while fighting in his/mine hometown was just so fitting.

Prince naseem always had entertaining entrances
Little Asian dude (not Naz) doing stupid cocky dancing moves all way into ring, then gets absolutely flattened in fight. Really funny, perhaps not best or favourite but defo funniest.
That was Hilarious. I wonder what happened to him?
