    If we are doing name checks, then 'We didn't start the fire' needs a mention.

    Most would suggest Hurricane or In Zaire would be up there and as mentioned The Pogues did one, but there was another Irish boxing song that was a 'classic'.

    Seryoga - King Ring

    Russian rap song about a boxer. It was in Russian movie Shadowboxing (2005) and in video game GTA IV, you'll probably remember it from there.

    Nevermind boxing, Salvador Sanchez and Duk Koo Kim by Sun Kil Moon are two of the best songs about anything.

    I prefer Pancho Villa to Salvador Sanchez. Sometimes. Smashing record regardless.

    Sun Kil Moon's track "Linda Blair" sees the singer go off on a 4 minute tirade about Andrew Golota It's erm....weird

    Also name drops Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe during the bizarre tangent
