George Foreman: Ali was the best I ever faced

Newshour

Available for over a year

Part of the reason we think of Muhammad Ali as 'the greatest' is a fight that happened fifty years ago known as the "Rumble in the Jungle". The fight took place in the sweltering heat of Kinshasa, now in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Newshour's Andrew Peach has been speaking to George Foreman who was in the ring with Muhammad Ali that night.
