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!”

Daniel Dubois must agree to the fight of Derek Chisor until June 21

Dubois vs Chisora

WBN may confirm that Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF heavyweight championships in the last fight of Derek Chisory.

Worldboxingnews.com learned on Thursday from the international boxing federation that Dubois must soon agree to fight Chisor. The spokesman informed WBN that Dubois would receive an order in the next few weeks.

“Yes, Derek Chisora ​​is a mandatory pretender Daniel Dubois, but the obligatory fight will be ordered on 4/22 [April 22]”IBF spokesman said only World Boxing News.

“There is not enough time for the eliminator, because the obligatory Dubois is to appear on June 21,” they added.

Development is significant for Chisory, who has already announced that his 50th fight is his last. This means that Chisora ​​will have a third shot in the landing of the heavyweight crown before she moves away from sport.

Chisora ​​planned three more fights before retiring after defeating Gerald Washington in August 2023 at the O2 Arena in London. Clash Washington was made or a break in Finchley’s career after Tyson Fury gave him another significant beating in the third duel eight months earlier.

Since then, Chisora ​​enjoyed the great renaissance of the fight. He defeated Joe Joyce before Otto Wallin in his last fight to put himself to face Dubois. The unanimous victory in the February decision on Wallin was the IBF eliminator and will attract a gap in Dubois vs. Chisora.

The “war” fought for the WBC belt twice before, once against Vitali Klitschko in 2012 and again opposite Fury in 2023 in the IBF heavyweight title this summer will be the first for a man who seems to be forever.

The most critical photo of the division will become clear after securing Dubois vs Chisora.

The contract means that Dubois will be beyond the commission to fall, leaving the uniform master Oleksandr Usyk to defend his belts against these world champion by WBO Joseph Parker.

Anthony Joshua’s injury means that these two competitions are practically imprisoned in stone. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Joshua would not be able to train for weeks, leaving London from running to a rematch with Dubois or a parker.

Promoters on both sides will confirm more at the right time, but for now it seems that Dubois vs. Chisora ​​and Uyk vs Parker, before the two winners meet in the undisputed union later this year.

If Chisora ​​defeated Dubois, probably at the Wembley stadium or in Riyadh, it is unlikely that he would disconnect his gloves, especially with four stripes from Usyk on the horizon.

It was a long 18-year career for Chisora, who once went through the nickname “del boy” when he went through the rankings.

From David Haye Fiasco, who ended with the break of Chisory in Upton Park, a few challenging to watch, there is never a tedious moment when Derek is nearby.

British boxing boxes are on the verge of losing one of their pillars of the last two decades in the summer. However, whether the 41-year-old will really be able to leave after another cracks in the world title will remain.
