You do realise that we are fully aware of the irony of using a Neil Diamond sing-along to hype a fight don't you? The most un-threatening, un-macho, un-boxing-like tune you could pick.
It's not an accident. It's humour.
That and it's fucking good fun to sing along with thousands of others after several drinks.
As others have said, all you need to hype a fight is drinks and music. Although you say drinking at boxing is a "bad thing to do because it leads to other mishaps".
"Ooooooh let's not drink lads, we wouldn't want to be having any little mishaps".Toughen up a bit mate.
