George Foreman vs. Muhammad Ali. 1974.
This is the English language printing of the poster promoting the legendary “Rumble in the Jungle,” held in Kinshasa, Zaire on October 29, 1974. One of the truly titanic events in the history of sports, the underdog (but crowd favorite) Ali played rope-a-dope with the sledgehammer-fisted Foreman before delivering the knockout blow in the 8th round. This fight was the world’s most-watched live television broadcast at the time with an estimated audience of 1 billion viewers worldwide, including a record estimated 50 million viewers watching the fight pay-per-view. This poster includes a tip-on for the date change from September 25 due to an injury Foreman experienced.
