Zack Clayton, Black Pioneer, first African-American to referee a world heavyweight title fight. In 1952 he refereed Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott.
He also refereed "Rumble in the Jungle" which I found hard to forgive him for. Ali was like leech in that fight.
Clayton was a gifted athlete, playing baseball in the Negro leagues and also playing basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Ali fought Ok against Foreman, I had more issues with Ali v Frasier in their second fight with the holding and leaning which the ref allowed.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
