Beschreibung:

Muhammad Ali pinback button. Caption "Float Like A Butterfly / Sting Like A Bee - 'Ali'" surrounds illustration featuring a butterfly and a bee flanking the African continent in which appears a photographic image of Ali and the date "Oct. 29th ' 74." Diam.: 3 in. Though this pin dates the momentous bout to October 29, 1974, the boxing match pitting undefeated world Heavyweight champion George Foreman versus former Heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali actually occurred one day later in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). Known as the "Rumble in the Jungle," this historic boxing bout was one of the most anticipated and watched sporting events of the twentieth century. Pinback features one of Ali's most famous quotations, and the Pan-African colors of red, black, and green. Ali bested foreman by knockout just before the end of the 8th round and regained the Heavyweight Title. Condition: Good condition.
