    		Don't think so. Ali was in the wrestling ring with man. Andre and this man put on boxing gloves and a former heavyweight champ was the referee.

    		According to the following sources, the answer would be Antonio Inoki. However, Inoki's match with Ali was more of a mixture of fighting techniques, and there were several limitations placed on what each fighter could and could not do. Furthermore, there was no real boxing going on between Inoki and Andre either.

    In these two postings, you can see Andre the Giant actually fight two different opponents who tried to fight using their boxing techniques. The two fighters are Chuck Wepner and Gorilla Monsoon.

    		Sorry, Wepner was a boxer not a wrestler.
