On Wednesday, October 30th, 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now
the Democratic Republic of Congo).
Muhammad Ali fought the reigning champion, George Foreman, for the Heavyweight
Championship of the World. The fight, billed as ‘The Rumble in the
Jungle’, produced one of
boxing’s most astonishing contests. Ali, regarded by all as the
rank underdog, was attempting to regain the title that had been stripped
from him for his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. This graphic charts
the extraordinary events that unfolded in the ring that night and illustrates,
blow for blow, the fight’s progress to its knockout finale. Each
round is illustrated by a 180° arc, one degree is equal to one second
of a three minute round. Every connecting punch is mapped at precisely
the moment of contact, Ali's are represented by the dashed line, Foreman's
by the solid.
