George Foreman destroyed Michael Moorer to make boxing history and claim the bragging rights over Teddy Atlas.
On March 21, 2025, possibly the hardest puncher the sport has ever seen, sadly passed away.
In his astonishing career, Foreman knocked Ken Norton down three times in a minute, and annihilated Joe Frazier in a truly remarkable performance.
However, his most extraordinary moment was undoubtedly when he became the oldest heavyweight champion of all time at the age of 45.

Teddy Atlas pushed George Foreman before the Michael Moorer fight
Throughout his time in boxing, Teddy Atlas has always been a larger-than-life personality, with the trainer showing no fear, even in the presence of George Foreman.
In a shocking turn of events, at the press conference ahead of his student, Michael Moorer’s, fight with the legend, Atlas decided to try and intimidate ‘Big George’.
While the gentle giant sat in front of his microphone, his opponent’s coach stood over him, firing verbal jibes, before giving him a shove.
However, on this occasion, there was no getting into Foreman’s head.
Moorer dominated for large spells of the fight, but Atlas was always aware of the power in the other man’s fists, constantly warning his boxer not to stand in front of him.
But in the tenth round, he did just that, with Foreman detonating a one-two heard around the world to capture the heavyweight title for the second time.
