Angelo Dundee, who is best known for the more than two decades he spent as boxer Muhammad Ali’s trainer, died at age 90.
Dundee worked with 15 world
champions, including Sugar Ray Leonard, George Foreman and Jimmy Ellis
but it is his work with Ali that stands out the most.
Dundee travelled the world with Ali and
worked with him in his most famous fights, including The Rumble in the
Jungle against Foreman in 1974. Together they crafted the “rope-a-dope”
technique which helped Ali dethrone Foreman in what was called the fight
of the year.
