South Africa’s historic victory over the mighty All Blacks in 1995 and 1987’s infamous try by Serge Blanco in Sydney are just some of the moments coming up on eir sport for Rugby fans while Boxing supporters can be transported back to 1975 to watch Muhammad Ali take on Joe Frazier in ‘The Thrilla in Manilla’ clash before being taken to Atlantic City in 1988 to see the moment that Mike Tyson defended his World Heavyweight title against former Heavyweight champion Larry Holmes.
