Does life get any better?
Amazing weather, wine and cheese with a sax player, playing some brilliant chill out tunes.
Our brand new sports centre walkway ( will have curtains ). Ideal for sports centres where isn’t a stage or a massive budget so perfect for the amateur boxing shows. #boxing #boxingdj #walkout #walkoutsong #boxerwalkout #dj #lightshow #aba #abc #homeshow
What an amazing night last night at The Straightener Show boxing event. 16 bouts and they filled the Walker Activity Dome with well over 1000 fight fans. What I love with the straightener show is that it’s a massive team effort and everyone is looked after like family. Only one goal and that’s to make this is the biggest and best show this side of the water, 2nd show in and they are definitely heading for that spot! Plans for the future are unreal, the straightener show isn’t just boxing, it’s a mixture of fight disciplines and new ideas too, all inside the case!! Absolute pleasure working for them.
Well what a day it was yesterday. So I was in Barnsley doing the WF promotions show, in Newcastle my team are doing the Maxx Fight show. The setup didn’t go as it should have in Newcastle. unsure if it was deliberate sabotage by another company or just bad planning. However I take full responsibility for any stress caused to Mac the promoter, anyone who knows me knows I don’t take lightly if someone tries to screw me over. But I don’t hide behind excuses and try and bury mistakes as I am proud of my business and the amazing team that I work with. Thankfully all was great and the team smashed it!!!
Both shows went amazing as expected and feedback from people at both shows and fighters from both Maxx Fight and WF Promotions on production was first class. The fighters got the walkout they deserved!!!
Thanks to Callum and Mark for dealing with the stress and making the Maxx Fight show work under tough conditions.
All setup for Loose Days Boxing Event. Different type of setup this one.
Tonight I am with the 21 Royal Engineers and supplying full ring lighting, full walkout, additional lighting and sparks.
So we’ve hit a milestone today, 30 boxing shows booked for The Boxing DJ for 2024! I am not just a DJ, I specialise in boxing and fight sports, being an ex wrestling promoter I understand the needs and requirements of any fight show. Top quality sound, lighting and professionalism at a price that can suit ALL budgets.

The importance of having an MC at a boxing show!!
Recently I’ve done a few boxing shows where there has been no MC, either referee has doubled up or some random ringside has announced the fights and I want to try and explain why it’s so important to have a proper MC.
First of all, I’ve done so many boxing/fight shows over the years and one of the most important things that can either make or break a show is the MC. This is fact.
An MC doesn’t just announce the fights, a good MC controls the crowd, moves fights along, encourages support from the fans, does the raffle, auction, keeps an eye out for any trouble in the crowd, makes sure that people are not banging on the ring, climbing into the ring, that fans are safe from ringside, creating the correct ambience and even entertaining the crowd when there is time. One of the best examples of a great MC is Brian Houshby ( in the video ), he can be wild and entertaining, but can also keep it calm for amateur shows. Most importantly he controls the crowd as that’s his job.
The biggest problem when using a referee to double up as an MC is that his job is to control the boxing, control the fighters in the ring. He can’t keep any eye on the crowd, he can’t tell the lass who keep approaching the ring with her camera light on to turn it off and move back, he can’t see if there is a kick off at the back of the room, he can’t get the crowd cheering and making noise for bout that needs it. This is the same if it’s just someone calling out the fighters, it’s about professionalism and experience. I’ve been asked many times if I can do both the DJ and announce the fighters, my response is always the same. No!! I need to focus on my job as a DJ not as an MC.
I am a Fight show DJ and when people say it’s just pushing a button, if that’s the case hire someone half my fee and see how they handle it. See if their microphones work, the sound quality is top notch, decent lighting, proper music etc.
