Legendary boxer and businessman George Foreman recently passed away at 76 years old. One of his most notable opponents, Evander Holyfield, reflected on his match against Foreman in a 2023 VladTV interview. Holyfield opened up about his first heavyweight title defense against George Foreman. He stated that while Foreman was slower than most, the timing of his hits during the fight caught him off-guard. Despite Foreman's strength and solid hits, including what Holyfield described as the hardest hit he's ever received, Holyfield managed to keep the upper hand. The fight, which went all 12 rounds, ended in a unanimous decision, with Holyfield coming out on top. Nonetheless, he admired Foreman's resilience and strength throughout the fight, which taught him valuable lessons about boxing strategy.
