Bare with me
I don't know if it's an historical exaggeration that I picked up somewhere in my time but from the way the story is told about the Rumble in the Jungle it seemed like Ali had enough star power to start a riot after that fight.
I'm woefully ignorant about Zaire at the time (the Kongo in general if I'm being honest) and I wanted to know if I was fishing in an empty pond.
