Ethan composes and then plays an original composition for Muhammad Ali at Celebrity Fight Night, Muhammad Ali's Charity event. The song is entitled THE CHAMP. Ethan sang the song and then all the artists (Unplanned) got up on stage to sing the song. David Foster, Josh Groban, Reba Mcentire, Charice and many others. Muhammad Ali started crying and hugging Ethan, while the audience was in tears. This song has since been recored on Ethan's latest DVD.

The words to the songs are as follows:

He's the man of steel
With a heart of gold
And for us it's such a thrill
How he rose to the top

Like a butterfly he flew
Into our hearts
And he stung just like a bee

They say that he's the greatest there ever will be
And I swear, I do believe!

He's the champ
He's the champ
And he'll always be the champ

He's the champ
He's the champ
And he'll always be the champ

He's a man that fights
With a heart of gold
And today he continues to fight
For a cause to save a life

He is a champion; he gives
To those in need
And he never stops the fight

They say that he's the greatest there ever will be
And I swear, I do believe!

He's the champ
He's the champ
And he'll always be the champ

He's the champ
He's the champ
And he'll always be the champ

(Instrumental)

They say that he's the greatest there ever will be
And I swear, I do believe

He's the champ
He's the champ
And he'll always be the champ
