Rumble in the Jungle

The Rumble in the Jungle was a heavyweight championship boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali on October 30, 1974, at the 20th of May Stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire, with an attendance of 60,000 people. The event was watched by an estimated one billion television viewers worldwide and was one of the most watched televised events at the time, grossing an estimated $100 million in worldwide revenue. Ali won the fight by knockout in the eighth round, employing his famous rope-a-dope tactic. The event was a major upset, with Ali coming in as a 4-1 underdog against the undefeated and heavily muscled Foreman, and has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century".learn more on wikipedia
