Muhammad Ali's Corpse vs. Jake Paul, billed as the Tussle in Tegucigalpa, was a professional boxing match between YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul and three time lineal heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The bout was conceded after only one round on January 4, 2025, at Ingenieros Coliseum, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Ali won by knockout (KO) almost immediately, nearly beating the world record for fastest knockout. The contest's name is derived from Ali's rhyming boast that he would "tussle that limp piece of muscle til he ends up out hustled."

The bout is almost universally regarded as one of the most bizarre, upsetting, and disgusting fights in boxing history.
