Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. x, 262 pages. Illus., slight soiling to DJ. Signed by the author (Foreman). George Edward Foreman (January 10, 1949 March 21, 2025) was an American professional boxer, businessman, minister and author. In boxing, he competed between 1967 and 1997 and was nicknamed "Big George". He was a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. As an entrepreneur, he was known for the George Foreman Grill. Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Having turned professional the next year, he won the world heavyweight title with a stunning second-round knockout of the then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. He defended the belt twice before suffering his first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. Foreman retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977. Foreman became an ordained Christian minister. In 1994 at age 45 won the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal heavyweight championship titles by knocking out 26-year-old Michael Moorer. At 46 years and 169 days old, he was the oldest world heavyweight champion in history. He retired in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76 wins (68 knockouts) and 5 losses, one of the famous losses coming at the hands of Muhammad Ali. Foreman was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and International Boxing Hall of Fame. In 2002, he was named one of the 25 greatest fighters of the past 80 years by The Ring. He was a ringside analyst for HBO's boxing coverage for 12 years until 2004. This autobiography of boxer George Foreman covers his childhood, his boxing days and his religious conversion after leaving boxing a defeated man. Events include the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" fight with Muhammad Ali and his comeback in 1994 to raise money for the Houston Youth Center. First Trade Edition.
