Mike Tyson hails Congolese roots on Rumble in the Jungle visit to Kinshasa

Mike Tyson was a hit with fans in Kinshasa after embracing his Congolese roots as part of ongoing celebrations for one of boxing’s most iconic fights.

The city hosted the Rumble in the Jungle in October 1974 when Muhammad Ali defeated George Foreman to reclaim his title as the heavyweight champion of the world.

It was the first time a heavyweight world title had been fought for on African soil, and Tyson has been paying tribute to the legends involved.
