In October 1974, Ali took on reigning world champion George Foreman in "The Rumble in the Jungle" in Zaire.

Katchian recalls:"At the end of a training session in the N'Sele compound of President Mobutu, Ali would sometimes give the press a little something extra.

"Here he is singing with Drew 'Bundini' Brown the famous ditty 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Your hands can't hit what the eyes can't see! Rumble, young man, rumble!'."

"The ever-patient aide and timekeeper, Walter 'Blood' Youngblood, looks on."
