    Nice trivia question would be the first champion who used it, and the song....

    I would've thought it went back further than Holmes.

    I'll take your word for it. I don't know the answer. I know it was used for a really long time in pro wresting. I would have thought boxers would've picked it up in the 60s.

    Good question. Can you imagine ring walks without music? Bloody terrible.

    I really think it began post-Rocky '76-'77. My God, it seemed like everyone was playing the Rocky theme everytime someone got in the ring.
