Muhammad Ali: The Rumble in the Jungle
Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman in 1974.
Relive the fight now known as, 'The Rumble in the Jungle'.
Mohammed Ali had a special relationship with Africa. In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire, which is now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he fought George Foreman in what was dubbed "the rumble in the jungle."
The attendance at the 20th of May Stadium was about 60,000. Ali won by knockout, putting Foreman down just before the end of the eighth round. It has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century."
Relive that moment.
