Part 3/5:
George Foreman, famously known as "Big George," rose to national prominence at the young age of 19 when he won a gold medal in boxing at the 1968 Olympic Games held in Mexico City. His athletic prowess only grew from there, leading to a remarkable career in professional boxing.
Foreman made headlines in 1973 when he knocked out Joe Frazier in just two rounds to become the World Heavyweight Champion. However, his reign was short-lived as he faced the legendary Muhammad Ali in the famed "Rumble in the Jungle" the following year, where he lost the title. Despite this setback, Foreman made a triumphant comeback later, reclaiming the championship from Michael Moore, making history as the oldest boxer to do so.
