Part 4/10:
After a three-year hiatus, Ali returned to boxing, eager to reclaim his titles. Following a victory over Oscar Bonavena, he called out Frazier, setting the stage for their monumental showdown. Ali's brash and often disrespectful comments only added fuel to the already heated rivalry. Despite Ali’s attempts to instill doubt in Frazier, the latter remained focused and composed, determined to prove his own worth as the true champion.
Prior to the fight, both figures participated in a press conference that heightened the rivalry. As the event captured the attention of millions, it became more than just a boxing match; it was a confrontation between two equally determined champions ready to cement their legacies.
