Rumble in the Jungle

The "Rumble in the Jungle" was a famous boxing match held in 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), where Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman. This event became legendary not just for the fight but for its cultural significance. Ali used a strategy called "rope-a-dope," tiring Foreman by letting him punch himself out while leaning on the ropes. In the eighth round, Ali knocked out Foreman, winning the heavyweight title. The event showcased the power of sports to unite people and highlight African pride, becoming one of history’s most iconic boxing moments.
