Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier (Manila, 1975)
‘The Thrilla in Manila’.
Ali and Frazier were split at one win each, and the third bout between the two will go down as the best in boxing history.
After it was over, Ali (the winner) said it was about as close to death as he’d ever been.
Ali and Frazier belted the living daylights out of each other, before Frazier’s trainers ended the fight in the 14th round.
A true war that needs to be seen to be believed.
