The Thrilla in Manila was the third and final famous boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World, fought at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines on October 1, 1975.

The bout is often ranked as one of the greatest fights of 20th century boxing, and is the climax to the bitter rivalry between Ali and Frazier.

When Ali was stripped of the title in 1967 over his refusal to join the armed forces when drafted during the Vietnam War, Frazier had petitioned President Nixon to restore Ali's right to box and even lent Ali money.

The mutual enmity emerged in the build up to the fight, when Ali turned on Frazier, describing him as an " Uncle Tom ", a " white man's champion " and later, a " gorilla ".

Frazier in turn riled Ali by referring to him by his birth name, Clay.

Afterwards the pair continued to trade insults, but by the time they met in a rematch, neither was a champion ; Frazier had lost his title to George Foreman and Ali had recently been beaten by Ken Norton.

By 1975, Ali was champion again having unexpectedly regained the title by beating Foreman, whereas Frazier was thought to be washed up.

The fight finally ended when Frazier's trainer Eddie Futch refused to let Frazier come out for the 15th round, meaning Ali won by TKO.

According to Ali's longtime physician and cornerman Ferdie Pacheco, it was believed by Ali and his trainers that Joe Frazier was washed up after his devastating loss to George Foreman, and the relative ease with which Ali had defeated Frazier in their rematch after that fight seemed to bear this out.

The general consensus was that Ali was doing Frazier a favor, giving Joe one last big payday before sending him off into retirement, and as a result Ali did relatively little training, instead concentrating on the torrid affair he was having with Veronica Porsche, and amusing the vast entourage that had come to be nicknamed " The Ali Circus ".

Frazier had never forgiven Ali's perceived invective towards him prior to their first fight.

Ali had previously told his trainers that he was going to " put a whuppin on Joe Frazier, and he started the fight looking to do just that.

By the fourth round Ali began to tire from all the energy he had expended in the searing heat and Frazier turned up his own offense and began punishing Ali to the body and the head with his trademark hooks.

By the sixth round, Frazier had staggered him in turn and seemed to be gaining control of the bout.

Ali tried to fend Frazier off with occasional furious flurries of punches, spurts of manic activity, and even unsuccessfully tried to use the rope-a-dope technique that had defeated George Foreman nearly a year earlier, but it was all negated by Frazier's relentless assault and power.
