Rumble in the Jungle
by Abbas
On October 30, 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Muhammad Ali, faced George Foreman for the title of world heavyweight champion. Abbas’ photos from Zaire are an important addition to these celebrated accounts of the fight and give us further insight into the one of the 20th century’s most mythical sporting moments, and a fighter punching above his weight with guile and cunning, to overcome seemingly impossible odds. It’s a document of a fight frozen in time, in black-and-white stills—the fight that cemented Muhammad Ali’s reputation as “The Greatest.”
