A first-of-its-kind immersive experience, which will bring to life the iconic 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, is coming to Canada Water this autumn – and here is how you can get tickets.

Fusing theatre, sport and technology, Rumble in the Jungle Rematch will launch on September 14 at Dock X in Canada Water.

The first-of-its-kind show will see audiences will be transported back to the legendary Muhammad Ali and George Foreman boxing match nearly 50 years later.

Playing on all five of the senses, Rumble in the Jungle will be brought to life by an incredible live cast of actors, with live music, food and drink that will create authentic smells and tastes of the time.

From Muhammad’s pre-match trash-talking to the fight where his famous rope-a-dope was performed, it is the chance to see what was called the greatest sporting event of the 20th century played out in front of you.

The event will feature the sounds of the Zaire ’74 music festival, which saw the biggest global acts in black music perform, including James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers and Sister Sledge.

Rematch transports fans back to re-live iconic sporting moments through immersive theatrical events. In 2019, they started by recreating the famous Wimbledon match between Bjorn Borg and John McEnro of 1980 – but this is set to be much bigger.

Tickets for Rumble in the Jungle Rematch are on sale now.
