Tough as nails, and a kind heart. It's men like him that showed me what it means to be a real man growing up without guidance. Rest in peace champ

I had the privilege of watching the 1974 'rumble in the jungle' live with my dad at the Odeon Cinema, Manchester.
The theatre was packed to the rafters. Seem to remember the fight didn't start till around 3.00am
Little did we know at the time, it would go down as one of the greatest heavyweight fights
RIP George
