Anthony Joshua didn’t even blin when he was asked if George Foreman was the most challenging
Published

Anthony Joshua called George Foreman, the most cruel blow of all time. Foreman once generously proposed a mentor of the British heavyweight after his stunning defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. After Joshua perceived many as a successor to legends such as Foreman and Muhammad Ali, Ruiz ripped the script in one of the biggest threads in the history of boxing.
Ruiz came off the canvas to catch Joshua with a huge left hook in the third round, then stopped him in seventh. When Joshua looks like a broken man, it led to Foreman, who unfortunately died at the age of 76 this week to offer his support. He said about Club Power breakfasts in 2019: “They will have to return to the gym.
“I think he will be a bigger warrior, Joshua, if he returns, gathers the mind. He will be even better. But now it’s better to learn to box and better get a good manager. I will do it. It’s certain. He needs someone like me.”
Joshua remained with his long -time coach Rob McCracken, before he later joined forces with Robert Garcia, and then Derrick James before he worked with Ben Davison in 2023. But Joshua always enjoyed a foreman.
Asked about the most powerful boxer of all time, Joshua did not hesitate to replace Foreman, saying: “George Foreman. His power was different.”
He admires Joshua for Foreman, he was also perceptible when he compared Joe Joyce, the rising British boxing star in 2016, to the legendary warrior. He said, “He [Joyce] may not have finesse [Muhammad] Ali had, but he has brutal strength [George] Foreman. It will cause some havoc in the amateur division. “
Foreman’s death was announced on Friday, causing a wave of tribute to boxing and a wider sports world. The family statement was: “Our hearts are broken. With deep sadness we announced the departure of our beloved George Edward Foreman St., who calmly left on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.
“A pious preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father and a proud grandfather and great -grandfather, lived with a life marked by unwavering faith, humility and goal.”
Joshua paid tribute, providing the statement with the signature: “Rip Champ!” Mike Tyson expressed his condolences, saying: “Condolences with the family of George Foreman. His contribution to boxing and not only will never be forgotten.”
Foreman initially left his mark when he won the Olympic gold medal at the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968. His most significant event in his career was undoubtedly when he demolished Joe Frazier in 1973, knocking him out in the second round to ensure his first world heavyweight title.
Foreman was not the same warrior after losing in the jungle to Ali in 1974. After 10 years of sport, he returned to the ring in the delayed 1980s and incredibly won the IBF heavyweight title at 45 after defeating Michael Moorerer, making him the oldest heavyweight champion of all time. After 81 PRO Fights he fought for the last time in 1997.

He is a talented guy, and thanks to Turk’s abilities they would create a very captivating project. He will pay attention to our great sport, expand the base of fans, attract a modern investment and possibly escalate athletes.”
