" I said last night, I had a dream, when I got to Africa I had one hell of a rumble, I had to beat Tarzan’s behind first for claiming to be the king of the jungle, for this fight I wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with the whale, I done handcuffed lightning and put thunder in jail, you know I’m bad, I have murdered a rock, I injured a stone and I hospitalised a brick, I’m so bad I make medicine sick, I’m so fast, man, I can run through a hurricane and don’t get wet, when George Foreman meets me he’ll pay his debt, I can drown a drink of water and kill a dead tree, wait ’til you see Muhammad Ali."

STORYLINE:
Fifty years ago Muhammad Ali defeated George Foreman and reclaimed the heavyweight boxing crown in the bout dubbed ‘Rumble in the Jungle.’
On October 30, 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire, known as the "Rumble in the Jungle," to regain his world heavyweight title.
Foreman had been a big favourite in the fight, but Ali stopped him in the eighth round in one of the great upsets in heavyweight history.
Ali had been stripped of his heavyweight crown in 1967 for refusing to be drafted for military service during the Vietnam War.
Ali’s fame and style went far beyond the ring and boxing, which is why he is considered one of the true legends of all sports, with a flair for performance both in the ring and in front of the camera.
Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942, a descendant of pre-Civil War era American slaves.
