The great George Foreman, former Heavyweight World Champion and one of the best fighters in history, has confirmed his attendance at the WBC Annual Convention that will take place from December 11-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
?Big? George, who is 62 years old, was born in Marshall, Texas but he currently lives in Houston.
After he conquered the gold medal in the Olympic Games in Mexico 1968, he made his professional debut a year later and then conquered the world title when he knocked out Joe Frazier.
He retired from boxing in 1977 but he returned 10 years later to defeat, against all the forecasts, the south paw Michael Moorer and thus got his title back.
Foreman retired completely from boxing in 1997, he among other things has dedicated his life since then to business and to comment on boxing bouts on television.
He fought against the best heavyweights of his time including Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Michael Moorner, Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Evander Holyfield, Gerry Cooney among others.
He has a professional record of 76 wins, 68 KO?s and 5 losses.
The great former champion is the kind of boxing star who will attend to our Convention in Las Vegas.
