Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III

Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier lll, billed as the "Thrilla in Manila", was the third and final
boxing match between WBA and WBC heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier, for the
heavyweight championship of the world. The bout was conceded after fourteen rounds on October 1, 1975,
at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines, located in Metro Manila.
The venue was temporarily renamed as the "Philippine Coliseum" for this match. Ali won by corner
retirement (RTD) after Frazier's chief second, Eddie Futch, asked the referee to stop the fight after
the 14th round. The contest's name is derived from Ali's rhyming boast that the fight would be "a killa
and a thrilla and a chilla, when I get that gorilla in Manila."
