He successfully defended the title 9 times before being indicted for refusal to serve in the Army, which resulted in his being subsequently stripped of his title and boxing license
He won the title for a second time on October 30, 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now known as Democratic Republic of Congo) by defeating reigning champion George Foreman. He successfully defended this title 10 times before losing it in a shock upset to 1976 Olympian Leon Spinks in February 1978.
