Fox News
Muhammad Ali regained his title of heavyweight boxing champion of the world on this day in history, Oct. 30, 1974, after winning the "Rumble in the Jungle" vs. George Foreman in Zaire.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. Now you see me, now you don't. George thinks he will, but I know he won't." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Ali was previously the heavyweight champion, but he lost his title in 1967 after he refused to join the military. After publicly announcing he'd joined the Nation of Islam in 1964, he tried unsuccessfully in 1965 to apply as a conscientious objector.
