Walkout songs—they’re more than just background music. They set the tone, fire up the crowd, and give us a glimpse into a fighter’s mindset before the first punch is even thrown. A great walkout can electrify the arena and burn itself into your memory long after the final bell; it’s part of the fight night magic. And tonight? We’ve got a big one. In just a few hours, the welterweight division is about to get a whole lot clearer. Ever since Terence Crawford moved up to 154 and left behind the unified throne, things got messy at 147. Four new champs were crowned—but no one could call themselves the guy. That changes tonight.
Jaron “Boots” Ennis puts his IBF title on the line, while Eimantas Stanionis brings his WBA strap into the ring. Both fighters are ready to throw down for true supremacy in the division—and they both made weight without breaking a sweat. Though the numbers suggest Ennis has the edge—but stats won’t tell you what kind of show we’re in for when these two step through the curtains and hit the arena. That’s where the walkouts come in. So let’s dive in and see what songs they’re walking out to.

Jaron Ennis’ past walkout songs: Undertaker theme song & more
Jaron “Boots” Ennis doesn’t just show up to fight—he shows up to make a statement. And one of the coolest ways he does that? His walkout songs. Each time he steps into the ring, the vibe changes. You never know what you’re going to get, and that’s part of what makes him such a showman.
Let’s take it back to October 2021, when Ennis faced off against Thomas Dulorme. That night, he didn’t just walk out to a track—he walked out to his track. Yup, Jaron Ennis actually lent his voice to a custom song called Juice in collaboration with hip-hop artist Nilo. It was bold, original, and personal. And he backed it up with a first-round KO, no less. Talk about owning the moment.
Fast forward to 2023, and we saw a completely different side of Boots. Ahead of his fight with Roiman Villa, Ennis made his entrance to the uplifting gospel tune Goodness of God by CeCe Winans. It was soulful, spiritual, and powerful—proving Boots isn’t afraid to show depth and gratitude before throwing hands.

Then in 2024, for his clash against David Avanesyan, Jaron Ennis cranked up the drama. He walked out to a chilling mashup of the Undertaker’s WWE theme (composed by Jim Johnston) and Meek Mill’s hype anthem Dreams and Nightmares. It was part intimidation, part hometown pride, and full-on electric.
What’s your perspective on:
Will Jaron Ennis' walkout song steal the show, or will Stanionis' serious tone dominate the night?
Have an interesting take?
And of course, for his rematch with Karen Chukhadzhian, the Philadelphia native kept things fresh once again—this time opting for a live performance of Some Nights by G Herbo. Now, as we head into his highly anticipated unification bout with Eimantas Stanionis, there’s one big question on everyone’s mind: What’s Boots going to walk out to this time?
We don’t know for sure yet—but in a recent interview on Way Up with Angela Yee, Jarron Ennis teased a few names he’d love to feature in a future entrance. We’re talking major names like Future, DMX (RIP), 50 Cent, and Lil Baby. If even one of them steps up for this fight night? You know it’s going to be legendary.

Eimantas Stanionis’ walkout music
Meanwhile, let’s talk about the other half of this explosive showdown—Eimantas Stanionis. The undefeated Lithuanian warrior, boasting a clean 15-0 record with 9 knockouts, is stepping back into the spotlight after nearly a year-long break from the ring.
His last outing was in May 2024, where he put on a solid performance and walked away with a unanimous decision victory over Gabriel Maestre, successfully defending his WBA welterweight title. It wasn’t flashy, but it was calculated, technical, and dominant—everything you’d expect from a fighter of his caliber.

Now, if you’re wondering about Stanionis’ walkout vibes, he’s not one for over-the-top theatrics, but he knows how to set a serious tone. There isn’t a lot of information out there about Stanionis’ previous walkout songs—but for his April 2022 title fight against Radzhab Butaev, Stanionis chose Run For Your Life by The Seige as his entrance song. As he gears up for the biggest fight of his career, you can bet he’s bringing that same locked-in energy. The music? It might be lowkey, but the message is clear: he’s here for war.
Which fighter do you think will have the more memorable walkout moment—Jaron Ennis or Eimantas Stanionis? And most importantly, who do you think will win the April 12 fight?
