Three-time world heavyweight boxing champion, Muhammad Ali, who became one of the world's best-known sportsmen, dies aged 74 after suffering from respiratory illness.
'Is that all you've got, George?'
Perhaps Muhammad Ali's most famous fight of them all was against George Foreman - a bout which was named 'Rumble in the Jungle'.
BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website will be looking back at that incredible night in Zaire later in a special Rewind at 21:00 BST.
George Foreman, looking back on the fight, recalled: "Muhammad Ali didn't have the best punch, he wasn't the strongest, but he was the toughest human being I ever had an encounter with. This I'm certain of.
"He wasn't saying a lot but in round three I hit him with a hard shot to the side and he fell on me and said: 'That all you got, George?!' That scared me, I knew there was going to be trouble then."
