Misfits Boxing 18: Which songs have Elle Brooke and Jenny Savage walked out to?
Boasting a combined career record of 4-1-1 in both professional and exhibition bouts, Elle Brooke enters the ring with the pressure of defending her title. In her rematch against AJ Bunker earlier this January, 'Dumble Dong' walked to the squared circle to the energetic beat of Kanye West's hit song 'Stronger', from his iconic 2007 album Graduation.
Meanwhile, for her debut, Brooke embraced nostalgia, entering the ring to the timeless 1995 hit 'Wonderwall' by the legendary English rock band Oasis. She kept the tradition alive by choosing the same song for her bout against Faith Ordway at MF & DAZN X Series 12 in January 2020.
In contrast, Jenny Savage, boasting a 3-4 record in professional MMA and a 3-3 standing in bare-knuckle fighting, is hungry for a triumphant start in her gloved boxing debut.
'The Tennessee Gangster' has long relied on the gritty sounds of Ouija Macc to set the tone for her walkouts across her combat sports career. True to form, Savage has revealed her plan to make her entrance to the beats of Macc's track 'Last Laugh' in her upcoming bout.
Misfits Boxing 18: What songs have other fighters on the card walked out to?
Another standout on the Misfits Boxing 18 card is former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson, who is stepping into the boxing ring for the first time. 'Smooth' recently dabbled in Karate Combat, testing his skills against Anthony Pettis last December. He currently holds a professional record of 30-12.
During his UFC career, Henderson was known for making his walk to the cage accompanied by the uplifting beats of R-Swift's 'Awesome God'.
Elsewhere on the Misfits 18 card, Jully Pocca is gearing up to defend her MFB women’s cruiserweight title against Crystal Pittman. Pocca, boasting a flawless 4-0 combined pro and exhibition record, made a memorable entrance during her bout with Elle Brooke at the Kingpyn tournament in July 2023 to the pulsating rhythms of the Brazilian track 'Sabotage' by Mun'Ra.
