We'll never see the likes of another 'Rumble'

The 'Rumble In The Jungle' marked the watershed moment that transformed the prophet - Muhammad Ali - into the GOAT: Greatest Of All Time.

Forty years ago today, in front of 60,000 spectators at Stade de 20 Mai in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Ali regained the world heavyweight championship with a monumental KO of the seemingly invincible George Foreman with two seconds left in the eighth round.

At the time of the stoppage Ali led on all three scorecards: 70-67, 69-66, 68-66.
