Tyson, who is considered one of Ali's spiritual successors, held a press conference at the newly renamed Ali-Foreman Stadium, formerly known as Stade Tata Raphaël. The event is part of a month-long celebration organized by DIVO International, with support from the Congolese government and the U.S. Embassy in the DRC. During the press conference, Tyson expressed his enthusiasm for being part of the historic event, stating his desire to be in the same venue where Ali and Foreman fought. He reminisced about the excitement surrounding the original fight, which took place when he was nine years old. The anniversary celebrations, which will culminate on October 30th with the official renaming of the stadium, include various cultural and sporting events. (Production: Benoit Nyemba, Cooper Inveen)
