On 30 October 1974, George Foreman and Muhammad Ali fought in the iconic 'Rumble In The Jungle'. Michael Cole tried in vain to gift the same atmosphere to Tyson Fury vs. Braun Strowman by calling it the 'Showdown In Saudi' and saying it was happening on the 45th anniversary of the legendary boxing battle.

Not quite.

Crown Jewel occurred on 31 October, which isn't the same as the 30 October.
