I think a lot of our friends across the pond misunderstand this. It is part of the culture of trying to get a rise out the opposition. We are actually dissapointed you don't boo ours. Pantomime stuff. It is like at the football fans will resort to sledging a national player they may idolize in an England shirt if it will wake up the opposing fans.

National anthems at the Boxing is daft though anyhoos, outside of team competitions like the Olympics, it is one bloke or woman against the other. Personal one on one war, not the international jingoistic competition they like to pretend it is.
