The Next World Heavyweight Champion
'Champions live and die... however hard you step in the sand, when the tide comes in it just wash them footsteps away, so being a titleholder don't mean that much. But if you're a real man, your children and grandchildren become a part of you so you never die. That's what I want to do: become George Foreman, the Man who never dies.'
Foreman, the little-known fighter who is tipped as the successor to Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier
