The White Stripes anthem 'Seven Nation Army' pumps up crowds up and down the country and will do the same when Anthony Crolla faces Jorge Linares

It might not be his ringwalk, but when 'Seven Nation Army' booms out, you immediately think of Anthony Crolla.

Manchester's favourite is one of British boxing's best-supported stars and on Saturday night when he takes on Jorge Linares in his world lightweight title rematch, the White Stripes anthem will be joining him.

Live Fight Night

The packed Manchester Arena crowd are guaranteed to boom out the 2003 song that has always been associated with 'Million Dollar'... but he is not alone.

Anthony Joshua appears on the Beats advert but there are - and have been - a few more famous sporting stars that fit Seven Nation Army, including Gennady Golovkin, darts number one Michael van Gerwen and Dutch legend, Robin van Persie.
