Ali says he'll win title in Kinshasa showdown
Muhamad Ali forecast regaining the heavyweight crown in Kinshasa Zaire this September when he faces George Foreman. He praised his fighter mindset while Foreman boasted most of his victories end early and warned his opponent must join the hunt or be hunted. Norton, who lost to Foreman, noted Ali would avoid the rope-bound mistakes and box from the start. Norton and Ali have two prior bouts, with Norton beating Ali in 1973 and Ali returning to win in 1974. Foreman reflected on his quick finishes and confidence in delivering another early knockout if fate allows.
