Don King and George Foreman

Promoter Don King paid an emotional tribute to George Foreman, the deceased former heavyweight master who died on Friday.

The 93-year-old who worked with Foreman at one of the most celebrated events in the history of this sport-rumble in the jungle in Zaire, said that he would soon join “Large George”. King suffers from health problems and was thought to be seriously ill just a few weeks ago.

His production company refused reports that began when one of the King boxers, Mike Tyson, paid tribute to his elderly mentor.

By publishing a video showing that he is in good health, a man with the slogan “Only in America” ​​emitted his thoughts about the transition of a boxing titan.

“I just received the news that my dear friend George Foreman, Iron Man, world champion in weighty weight,” said King. “The Lord gives, and the Lord is willingly blessed is the name of the Lord.

“George Foreman was a wonderful man, a great imagination of man, and believed in himself. He came from non -virgin, oppressed, impoverished and it was refused that his dreams came true, working on dedicated and mercilessly towards the realization of this dream to introduce them to live reality.

“It is an inspiration for all newborn people who came behind him and the upcoming generations that you can be who you want to be, if you believe in God and work on what you are trying and it will happen to you.

“So I am glad that I was part of sleep and that George left his house here on earth and moved to his home in heaven.”

Referring to his own mortality, the manila organizer in Manila added: “We regret here on earth. I want to celebrate the life of George and the Spirit who lives. George Foreman, keep lithe in the window. I will be there soon.

“I love you and I love what you represent. People’s love is the most critical. Thank you very much, George for being George.”

The president of the World Boxing Council Mauricio Sulaiman also referred to Foreman’s faith in the afterlife, stating: “George was not afraid to die because of his faith in the Almighty.

“In the heavens he joins Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Most of the weighty weight, except Schmeling, Dempsey and Tunney, are not blessed with longevity, but they pack at least three live in one when they are with us.

“Two careers of George Foreman in boxing will always be remembered with admiration and admiration.”

Sulaiman added that Foreman focused on doing something with his life, “as a troublesome teenager, he slipped home on a nap. One of his cousins ​​found him, and she told him to sleep, as he would never be in his life.

“It woke up George and convinced him to leave his trail in this world. God greets him now and rests in eternal peace.

“Mortality puts a weighty hand on all our arms. We can only hope that it will come gently. The Austrian artist Gustav Klimt put it in this way:” I hope that death is like a transfer to the bedroom when you were a child and you fell asleep on the couch during a family event.

“I hope you hear laughter in the next room. Lilies a lot.

He came to the conclusion: “Goodbye, Large George and God Speed. Oh, boy, we will miss you!”

Manny Pacquiao has fire, ask Mike Tyson if that is enough

Published

on

Manny Pacquiao says that the desire to box and compete at the highest level remains. However, there are real fears related to his return at the age of 46.

One of the largest boxing in history vacuums his gloves and returns with the challenge of WBC Wyttereight Wakwagi on July 19. Pacquiao returns to his spiritual home at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas after he bowed to T-Mobile Arena before.

In 2021, Pacquiao was to fight Errol Spence Jr. In the unification of the WBA and IBF title. Spence withdrew because of two significant car accidents and left Pacquiao in Lurch.

Losing from Spence for two world titles to a huge extent foreign arena could then be acceptable to Pacquiao. However, the way of switching and the need to find a exchange had to make the loss to be abolished.

Yordenis Ugas, then the number one claimant, got a phone call. Pacquiao couldn’t get up.

Cuban, an amateur star with over 100 victories, managed to cross the line with a unanimous decision. If Pacquiao won, PBC would resurrect the fight of Spence.

As it turned out, Pacquiao remained to think about his future. The eight world champion decided that it was enough and moved on.

Pacquiao vs Barrios

Four years and a failed return to politics later, the former Senator of the Philippines Pacquiao returned. It looks much more coarse around the edge, but still has rapid and flashy training movements to go to an immediate recognizable legacy.

These ingredients can go a long way, for example, survival of the door, especially in the case of an unjustified title of the shot against Mario Barrios.

But you just have to ask Mike Tyson if the body can do what the mind wants to process.

Tyson returned at 58, twelve years north of the place where Pacquiao is currently standing. His training films were more cruel than ever and looked in a huge form.

In the face of Jake Paul, YouTube, devoid of world -class boxing skills, Tyson’s decision stopped him when the first bell rang.

Throwing a ten-second combination in the gym is good and good, but it is different when you have an opponent who rushed to you so that you have to move through a 120-second session.

Despite the fact that Paul gave Tyson two -minute rounds, “the worst man in the world” no longer fulfilled his nickname. He did not have what it was necessary to be a fraction of his ex -self.

Ryan Hafey

After four years of release, Pacquiao is in the same situation. His performance will give a huge indication of how all the return of the last six years will go ahead.

If someone can do it, Manny Pacquiao can, but this is a high order.

By becoming the oldest welterweight champion against Keith Thurman during his last visit to MGM, Pacquiao hopes a familiar racial environment.

He returned with Freddie Roach on the wild Gym card in Los Angeles and puts everything in one more run.

The return of the Pacquiao ring coincides with its introduction to the International Gallery of Sław this weekend. However, defeat against Barrios would take on a significant gloss of gaining this year.

If he loses, it’s farewell. If he manages to win, he wants Gervont Davis.

Determination

The WBN fighter in the 2000s assured that he was grateful during the announcement that she was grateful.

“Fire, determination and willingness to work tough are still there. I still like to run in the mountains,” said Pacquiao.

“Not every warrior has this feeling. It’s a blessing because I experienced so many great fights in my career and I’m still here. I came back.

“For boxing fans around the world, thank you for accepting me again. I hope that on July 19 this fight will be fun for everyone.

“Everyone here will work tough in their training camp so that the fans are satisfied with July 19.”

One of the greatest competitors in the history of boxing, a former master who ruled in a fly weight before raising a super welter weight in a super welter, aims to overcome his own record by six years.

This is the level of expectations, not only from his fans, but from the man himself.

Everything is in place for Rocky Story Fairytale for Pacquiao. He just has to hope that his body can still earn this check.

Ginjiro Shigeoka Recovery

Gin is another on a long list of boxing injuries that do not always work for positive. Gin is one of the cheerful if he comes out of his experience with his life.
