– Just 50 years ago, another “fight of the century” took place. Nearly 100,000 spectators were present in the enclosure (now) named Tata-Raphaël in Kinshasa, to witness the boxing fight between George Foreman and Mohamed Ali. Clash of titans, universal show, 1st sporting event of the modern era, Mohamed Ali left his mark beyond boxing. King of the pre-match punch-line, dribbler in the ring, equivalent of Pelé on the pitch. Pelé another icon, another great sportsman of all time, the recognition was mutual, the admiration was total. October 1974, the African continent was at the center of the world, what remains today of “Rumble in The Jungle?” »
– Serie A: things are getting better for Napoli! The Partenopei continued, their 5th consecutive success, and it was AC Milan who paid the price. Conte’s players have collected 25 points out of 27 in the last 9 matches, conceding only 2 goals. The Blue Sky are off to a good start? Fonseca’s Rossoneri are in 8th place. – Kenan Yildiz shines with Juve. The young Turk already on the shelves of the biggest clubs, the Turin club intends to keep him. – Balotelli, the eternal return! Super Mario, 34, arrives at Genoa, having not played in Serie A for more than 4 years. Matteo Cioffi with us live!
– I’m back! Hervé Renard takes over the reins of the Saudi selection. He succeeds Roberto Mancini at the head of the Green Falcons. Global Goal 2026.
