March 8, 1971 is best known as the date the previously invincible Muhammed Ali was defeated in a title bout with Joe Frazier. But, as this new short film from Getty Images shows, there were plenty of other fascinating events unfolding alongside the 'Fight of the Century'. 

Using only Getty Images content, AlmapBBDO and Stink Films have uncovered these untold side stories - such as how Frank Sinatra managed to get a ringside spot even after tickets sold out, or how North America’s biggest drug dealer was identified by the police that night, because he sat in the first row wearing a $100,000 chinchilla coat.

As well as the short film Endless Stories, the campaign includes an interactive video and website where viewers can watch further narratives featuring Bob Dylan, George Foreman, and Miles Davis, by pressing '8' on the keyboard.
