Born on January 10, 1949, Foreman had a difficult childhood, but found comfort in boxing.
His talent and determination led him to win a gold medal at the 1968 Olympic Summer Games before he became a professional the following year.
As a professional, Foreman soon got up with his impressive knockout power and gained a 37-0 record in his career early.
One of his most memorable victories came across Joe Frazier, where he shocked the world by beating the favorite Frazier in a TKO.
The iconic match between Frazier and Foreman not only showed the power of the boxer, but also led to the historic meeting with Ali.
The “Rumble in the Jungle” In Kinshasa, Zaire remains one of the most famous boxing matches of all time, which marks a turning point in the career of Foreman.
“I just knew that nobody could hit my blow,” said Foreman in 2014. “But Mohammed did it. He took those punches, I started thinking:” What’s going on here? That is not the intention that it happens. “That bothered me more than anything.”
