Up in the air with Muhammad Ali

Newshour

Available for over a year

One of Ali's most memorable fights was the so-called Rumble in the Jungle, the classic bout in Kinshasa, in what was then Zaire, in 1974. He regained his title after beating George Foreman. Robin Wright - a contributing writer to the New Yorker - found herself, quite by accident, on that flight to Kinshasa with Ali. She was the only reporter on board.
