Buckle up for the wild ride that is George Foreman’s life. Foreman was a bully and a brawler as a kid due to his rough upbringing, but he was saved when he met Job Corps and boxing coach, Doc Broaddus. He went on to win the Olympics in 1968 after 24 amateur boxing wins. He initially won the heavyweight title in 1973 with a victory over Walt Frazier; following the victory, he successfully defended his title twice but lost it to Muhammad Ali. He went on to eventually retire in 1977 and became a born-again Christian, and he was an ordained minister by 1978.

He founded a church and was funding a youth center to help underprivileged kids, but his money was running out. He came out of retirement to keep the youth center in place in 1987, but it was not until 1994 that he finally won the heavyweight title back. The incredible and inspirational true story will be brought to the big screen on April 28, 2023.
