Former world champs Larry Holmes and George Foreman, both 49-years-old, pose in 1998 to announce a scheduled showdown to take place in Houston, Texas. However, funds were not raised and the proposed clash of all-time greats never happened. #Heavyweight#History#Boxing
O'Shaquie Foster, who is from Orange but lives and trains in Houston, will settle a war of words with Raymond Ford when Foster defends his world title against his rival in May. houstonchronicle.com/sports/…
Sports changes lives!
“ I grew up in Houston’s 5th Ward. Crime and poverty surrounded me. I was a High School dropout, and a juvenile delinquent. I was going places fast. And that place was either jail or prison. As a last resort, I joined the Job Corps. I got recruited to join their Boxing Team. It taught me about discipline, sacrifice, and hard work, and built my self confidence. Boxing turned my entire life around. And most likely saved it. “
George Foreman
Olympic Champion
2 X World Heavyweight Champion

What the Tennessee Titans fans don't understand is the baby blue & red colorway is deeper than the Oilers. It's Houston Culture, always has & will be its on the cities DNA.
Just accept y'all riding the Houston wave this isn't just about the Oilers. Real Houston culture🤘🏾.
🔥 50 years ago, George Foreman and Ron Lyle threw down in the ultimate heavyweight slugfest between authentic knockout punchers. I spoke to Big George about that fight for Ring Magazine in 2016.
What a man he was! 🇺🇸🥊🇺🇸

Astrodome, Houston, 1964 - One of my favorite photos of the "Eighth Wonder of the World" under construction. But as cool as seeing the Astros new ballpark being built is, how about that hot-looking 1963 Chevy Impala in the front of it?
