An original blue felt pennant from the October 29, 1974, World Heavyweight Boxing Championship between Muhammad ali and George Forman. Called "The Rumble In the Jungle," the fight took place at Stade du 20 Mai in Kinshasa, Zaire. The pennant reads "Muhammad Ali vs/ George/ Foreman." Beneath "Muhammad" the pennant reads "Cassius Clay/ for the/ Heavyweight/ Championship/ of the/ World," though by the time of the fight, Ali no longer went by the name Cassius Clay. The pennant also features an image of two boxers in the ring above the phrase "Fight of the Century," though Ali's first match with Joe Frazier is widely called the "Fight of the Century."
