with George Foreman on Dec 15, 1994
George Foreman is a former boxing heavyweight champion. Foreman beat Joe Frazier for the world heavyweight boxing championship in 1973. The next year he lost the title to Muhammad Ali in an epic bout in Zaire called the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Foreman dropped from the public eye for years and devoted himself to his religious ministry, but in the 1990s he returned to the ring transformed into a rotund, jovial fighter who somehow beat Michael Moorer in 1994 to regain the heavyweight crown at age 45. Foreman retired again after a 1997 loss to Shannon Briggs.
In recent years, he has made millions as a TV pitchman for a low-fat cooking gadget called the George Foreman Grill as well as for Meineke Mufflers. In February of 2004, Foreman announced that he intended to return for one more fight, this time as a 55-year-old grandfather, in honor of the 30th anniversary of his rumble with Ali.
