If you're thinking the Ali v Inoki fight, that took place before the Thrilla in Manila (the 3rd Ali v Frazier fight - from which neither man ever really recovered. Ali lost 28 lbs during the fight. He was on the point of throwing the towel at the end of the 14th, but Frazier beat him to it.)

The thrilla was in 1977, and is usually billed as the world's first globally televised event.
