Ā The strange fight between Muhammad Ali and Antonio Inoki took place in Tokyo, Japan, on June 26, 1976. This event was promoted as a classic bout between a boxer and a wrestler, but several rule changes made this fight a Bizarre contest. The rules were such that Antonio Inoki was not allowed to score any takedowns or grappling exchanges of any kind. Also, he could only execute a leg kick when one of his knees was on the ground. It was clear that these rules were in favour of Muhammad Ali. While Ali could throw punches, Inoki only had one option. As a result, the fight turned out to be boring and not entertaining at all. The crowd threw various objects into the ring. Ali was only able to land a few punches during the fight, and Inoki landed many kicks, which resulted in blood clots.
