His rivalry with ‘the Greatest of all time’, Mohammad Ali landed one of the most exciting fights of all time. Billed as ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, the fight took place in 1974. In this blockbuster event, Foreman lost his world title, which he could not regain, and retired.
However, Foreman made history when he returned to the ring years later at the age of 45 and became the unified heavyweight champion by defeating Michael Moorer. This win made him the oldest heavyweight champion of all time.
In the caption, Foreman revealed that his journey as a professional boxer was a co-incident. He trained to become a good street fighter, but gradually it became his profession.
Notably, Foreman was the most lethal knockout artist of his generation. His punching power was phenomenal.
When this post circulated on social media, it caught fans’ attention.
