  1. Rumble in the Jungle; Dr Dashanaba King (Queen Mother)

    Rumble in the Jungle; Dr Dashanaba King (Queen Mother)

    What was it like to be a part of arguably the BIGGEST boxing match in History, the Rumble in the Jungle, when Mohammed Ali faced George Foreman for the Heavyweight World Title in Kinshasa, Zaire 1974? Our guest this month at the KOI Sports CIC Members monthly Sports Q&A was the fantastically amazing Dr Dashanaba King.  Listen to Dr King speak about playing a HUGE part in this Boxing Extravaganza, plus an insight into being romantically involved with George Foreman, her relationship with Mohammed Ali, together with stories about her time spent James Brown and other artists who travelled to Zaire to perform. Dr King also speaks about what it was like to become the first ever female Boxing Agent, becoming the Queen Mother Dunenyo the First (Ghana), and her passion for supporting both PWD's (people with disabilities) and business women in Africa. This has to be one of the very best life stories I've ever heard, and an essential listen for all.
