The Rumble in the Jungle! October 30th! 35th Anniversary.

October 30, 1974

 

Thirty-five years ago today, Muhammad Ali laced his gloves and went toe to toe with George Foreman in the jungle heat of Zaire, Africa.

 

Ali was a heavy underdog to Foreman who was younger, a feared knockout artist, and reigning world champ.

 

That night – through his tremendous heart, rope-a-dope strategy, and uncanny skills –Ali cemented his place as the Greatest of All Time.
