Offered in this lot is a photo of Muhammad Ali throwing a right cross through George Foreman’s jaw. The photo is in color and is signed by Ali in Silver Marker above his right arm. The scene taken in this photo is of the famous “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974 fought in the African city of Kinshasa, Zaire. Both Ali and Foreman fought for the heavyweight champion’s title and Ali won by knockout during the eighth round. The knockout punch was a back peddling right-handed straight that sent Foreman’s arms open before hitting the mat. Within this same display are a US flag and a Zaire flag from the movie’s set. Both flags come with their own Columbia Pictures COA. The center of the piece has a metal plaque with the inscription: “’Rumble in the Jungle’ Ali vs. Foreman October 30th, 1974 Limited Edition: #5 of 5”. This lot comes with a full letter from JSA for the signature.
