there are rumours that he's gonna be the 'narrator' of the show as the whole thing is supposed to tell Madonna's story.

I wonder for what song(s) the boxing gloves will be used :confused: Bxtch I'm Madonna/4 Minutes maybe?

I’m thinking they’re just stating things that they’re also using for preparing for the tour (perhaps they do boxing to train and stay in shape while on tour, same goes for the physical therapists on the list). But I could be wrong - we will all see tomorrow! :excited:

Well we have seen some photos of her dancers boxing on the rehearsal stage in a ring so I believe it may be an actual number in the show
