The Fight in Manila: How Ali Nearly Died in the Legendary Bout 50 Years Ago.

Memories of the Legendary Fight

According to The Sun: Muhammad Ali believed he could die from the heat during the legendary fight 'Thrilla in Manila'. Now, his grandson is preparing to perform in the same ring 50 years later.

Ali recalled how in 1975 he faced Joe Frazier at the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines, where their fights were quite equal - each won one of the two bouts.

“This was one of the toughest fights of my life,” Ali said about this fight.

Now, his grandson has a unique opportunity to continue the family traditions in the same arena where his grandfather made history.

The competition in the Araneta Coliseum, which became a milestone in boxing history, is getting a new breath. Ali's grandson is likely to continue his grandfather's legacy, influenced by his tremendous career. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary fight, he takes part in an important stage of a boxing tradition that will always be a part of the sporting world.
