On Sept 18, 1975—less than two weeks before they would fight the last of their epic trilogy in the
‘Thrilla in Manila’—Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier paid a courtesy visit to the Palace and met President Marcos and First Lady Imelda.
As usual, tension was kept high due to Ali’s penchant to mock his opponents before fights. Wearing
barong tagalogs, both men engaged in a duel of witty remarks, with the president acting as their referee.
