Three former world champions became preachers after retiring. Let’s look at the latest, former Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight champion “Gigantic” George Foreman, who has just died.

In January 1973, Foreman detained Master Smokin ‘Joe Frazier, 29-0, in two rounds in Kingston in Jamaica.

On March 17, 1977, he lost to Jimmy Juvenile, being in the twelfth and final round in Puerto Rico.

When Foreman was lying in his locker room after losing, he woke up a spiritual awakening and began to shout: “Jesus Christ comes alive in me.” Then, after the shower, he began to shout: “Hallelujah, I am tidy! Halleluia, I was born again!” He would withdraw from boxing with a 45-2 (42 KO) record and became an ordained minister.

He returned and won the heavyweight title for the second time at the age of 45, rejecting master Michael Moorer, 35-0, at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada. In November 1997 he retired with the 76-5 (68 KO) record, fighting Houston in Texas.

Former WBA Master and IBF World Super Lightweight Aaron “The Hawk” Pryor He won his WBA title in August 1980, descending from the canvas in the first round to stop Master Antonio “Kid Pambele” Cervantes, 63-10-1, in the fourth round, in the hometown of Pryor Cincinnati. In June 1984 he won the title of IBF, defeating the Canadian Nick Furlano, 28-7-1, a decision in Toronto in Canada.

After retiring in 1990 with a 39-1 record (35 KO), Pryor underwent demanding times due to drug addiction, but with determination that made him a great warrior, kicked the habit. He became a deacon in the recent Baptist church friendship. The witness Pryor was as he saw Henry “Hawk Hawk” Armstrong, and even took the nickname “Hawk!”

In October 1937, Armstrong won his first World Feather Wweight title, pinking Petey Sarron, 107-21-13, in six rounds in Madison Square Garden.

In May 1938, he jumped the divisions to get the world-class weight, defeating Barney Ross, 74-3-3, in Madison Square Garden Bowl, maintaining the title of a featherweight.

In August 1938 he won the world delicate title, defeating Lou Amber 75-5-7, holding all three titles at the same time. In February 1945 he retired with a record of 149-21-10 (99 KO). Later he became an ordained minister in his hometown of Los Angeles.

Ci -tale Dereck Chisora ​​says he “It can guarantee” that he would fight the IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in Wembley.

Promoter Eddie Hearn doubts whether Dubois will fight Chisory because he has better options for Oleksandr Usyk or Joseph Parker. Since defeating Anthony Joshua to defense against Chisora, he is a substantial drop for Daniel when his popularity is growing.

Fans do not believe that Chisora, a 41-year-old deserves a shot for a shot, considering that he only had to defeat the pretender to Fringe Otto Wallin and 39-year-old Joe Joyce to become a mandatory IBF. There are many more deserving of fighters who evaluate the shot in the title of Master instead of Chisor.

Disaster

Still looking at the face after his last fight with the pretender to Fringe Otto Wallin in February last year, Warhorse Chisora ​​(36-13, 23 KO) claims that it will happen against Dubois, and he is already planning to enter the ring.

It is not clear what meaning it would be for fans, because it is superficial nonsense, trying to introduce cosmetic changes in a useless T sampleo Hide the true nature of a defective product. Placing this struggle for a tumor at the Wembley stadium asks for trouble because it does not sell the stadium 90,000 places.

“I can guarantee that the fight against Daniel [Dubois] It will happen in Wembley, “said journeyman Derek Chisor to Sky Sports Boxing, stating that he would challenge the IBF Daniel Dubois challenge in Wembley, but not finding if there is 90,000 places at the stadium or in the arena of 12,500 people.

“I am now planning the whole entrance to the ring in my head. I do not train yet, but I am working on it, entering, showman.

Chisora ​​says that this will be the last fight of his career, but few fans of boxing are naive enough to believe it. If he is even a bit competitive, he will continue his career as an opponent on the side B for someone.

As long as Millionaire Chisora ​​is used as a headliner, he will continue to fight. They are pensions he is talking about now, sound like a classic “Trip to business” tactics that stores utilize to attract Customers who understand what this term actually means. This is not “getting out of business”, “comes out on business.”

“I don’t see him fight for the world championship in ponderous weight, but who knows him success,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor to Stamping about doubt that Derek Chisora ​​is fighting Daniel Dubois for his heavyweight title IBF.

By Frank Bay: In a recent interview with Clarissa Shields, making her best captain an obvious impression, she said that Gervonta “Tank” Davis needs aid after his last performance. This is not a typical boxing advice, as he may need a fresh coach or must be more aggressive, no shields have suggested something taboos.

Shields admitted that she was looking for therapy during her boxing career and suggested that that’s what Gervont needs. This is a completely different aid. Searching for professional therapy can be seen as the main weakness. The expert Gag in the series “The Sopranos” consisted in the fact that Tony Soprano secretly received therapy.

It happened that if the crowd knew that Tony talked to the therapist, he would be hit. For obvious reasons, he may tell the secrets of the crowd, but more importantly, it is perceived by people as a weakness. Especially in Macho sport, such as boxing, it can be a blow to death.

The fighters could hear the tank sees shrinking and think it is finished. But times have changed and mental health is true. Ryan Garcia and Danny Garcia are fresh and older fighters who revealed that they need aid in the field of mental health. The search for aid in the field of mental health in today’s era has become acceptable not only for men in the mainstream of society, but also for men in the Ultra Macho sports sports, such as boxing, where the mental advantage is crucial.

Retirement conversation

Clarissa based her opinion on a conversation of retirement reservoirs. Many fans, media members and people in the boxing industry also noticed that Tank Talking’s retirement was a red flag entering the fight Lamont Roach. Ryan Garcia also gave an opinion that he states that Tanks’ retirement conversation was the reason he lost.

Ryan felt that after retiring from the back of the tanks he was not able to find the equipment he needed when he faced adversity. In sport such as boxing, doubt can be the biggest obstacle of the warrior. Teofimo Lopez, who is not a secret to mental health, once questioned after flawless effort compared to Sandor Martin, where the camera famously caught him, purring him, “whether I still have”.

People used this momentary sign of weakness by Lopez as a sign that he had no chance against Josh Taylor. We saw how it took place. It is expected that the fighters will boast, brag and never admit, even if they feel frail, that they have doubts about their ability to defeat every warrior placed before them.

No warrior will reach the top of sport, not believing in himself. They have pride and ego in abundance. It can also be their biggest trap. They are too proud to seek aid when you need aid.

Tank trouble

Sharks spin around Gervonta when people and fighters witnessed a breakdown in his armor. The tank increased to the top of sport with the aura of invincibility. It was created and sold by the second notable invincible warrior, Floyd Mayweather. However, Mayweather also had problems from the ring and outside.

He had shortbread and even spent time in the pond. It happens that the most notable fighters usually have trouble and diseases at the top. It is demanding to call a warrior who did not get into trouble during their reign. Manny Pacquaio was canceled, Tyson Fury had drug problems, Oscar needed rehabilitation, Sugar Ray Leonard admitted that he had problems with drug abuse, Mike Tyson has no need to explain and so on on the list.

It is complex to remain neat and protected from the falls of life when you are a man. Fame, money, women and all your fresh friends are the easiest ways to lose your eyes with what led you there.

Your God gave skills. And for a tiny 5’2 Gervont Davis from the Baltimore slums he was born with dynamite in both fists. Davis, however, is not foreign to the law. Davis is lucky to be a free man, considering that he was involved in a hit and running. Justice was given, and Tank returned to the ring to earn a lot of money for many people.

Opinions are like holes

Opinions make boxing great. However, there are opinions based on facts and opinions based on narratives, lies or semi -deprived. Tank Davis is a polarizing figure in the boxing community. But I will give you a fact, Tank Davis is a star, puts his ass on seats and draws the attention of media and social media.

He was half the last mega boxing PPV when he defeated Ryan Garcia; This is a fact. The opinion is that PPV was successful only because Ryan Garcia has a huge base of fans on social media. This is for a debate. Maybe true, maybe not. The fact is that his commercial success cannot be taken from him.

The fact is that the tank is the highest level award. Note that I said the prize. It is simply like that, in the same way as Canelo Alvarez, and the fighters constantly call them because they know the day of payment. From opponents of fighters managers to promoters after involved families, everyone wants a piece of tank Davis, because they represent life -changing money for all sides.

The opinion is that Tank Davis is successful because he is a warrior produced. The fact is that his promoter, Floyd Mayweather, is cited as “leave a tank alone” when he asks about opponents about which fans and media ask him for a challenge.

He was protected because he earns a lot of money for many people. The Lamont Roach fight proved to people with opinions, which the tank was actually protected and was exposed to cherry. The fact is that the payment has done nothing to influence his fame, and it can be argued that people are more intrigued to see if the tank can find its size.

Repetition of the rematch?

I’m not here to say what a tank needs or not. In my opinion, of course, I need any aid, but what aid I have no qualifications. Maybe Gervonta mentally checked the boxing and there is no instinct for the aspiration or the killer?

Maybe Davis simply needs technical support for boxing, as if he had to be more aggressive during his fights. Many experts have always claimed that the tank does not throw many blows and lose their rounds because it consists of their power to save it. Was it a free evening or was the tank never so good at the beginning?

Everything to the debate. But Clarissa presents a more poignant, significant question: does Gervont need something much deeper than boxing? It is now popular so that athletes such as Deontay Wilder go to the retreat of Ayahuasca to fight demons, looking for peace and clarity in the known distorted boxing sport.

Wilder claimed that this made him a better person. I will tell you what Tank Davis needs, he needs a victory over Lamont Roach, so call me the captain obvious. I hear from fans that they finally want Davis to stop criticism, fighting the huge names of fans and media he claimed to avoid.

I don’t have to tell you because people know, but when a rematch comes, Tank Davis must silence critics and say a statement by stopping Lamont Roach. Something less than a knockout of a tank Davis, and sharks smell blood.

Another controversial decision, and everything can end for Tank Davis in terms of being boxing. Nothing other than the spectacular performance of the tank and can signal that it’s time to leave. Loss and tank Davis can retire very well and we will never see how it fights. That would be a shame.
