Over dit evenement

George Foreman vs. Michael Moorer for the WBA and IBF Heavyweight Championship. At 45 years old, Foreman seemed a massive underdog. He absorbed punishment for nine rounds before landing a short right hand that floored Moorer in the 10th. Foreman became the oldest heavyweight champion in history — 20 years after his defeat in the Rumble in the Jungle.

Two decades after losing to Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle, Foreman proved that heart, experience and punching power can overcome youth. An iconic moment that transcended boxing and inspired millions worldwide.
