How did Rumble in the Jungle change the world?

This year it’s the 50-year anniversary of what many say was the greatest sporting event the world has ever seen. And it happened in Africa.

Rumble in the Jungle, the boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, was held on 30 October 1974 in Zaire, now the DRC.

Muhammad Ali’s victory cemented his legacy and showed the world he was the ultimate Greatest of All Time.

We speak to Muhammad Ali's biographer Jonathan Eig, the Pulitzer-winning author of Ali: A Life.
