About this listen
George Foreman, the heavyweight legend whose 1974 Rumble in the Jungle loss to Muhammad Ali in Congo still captivates boxing fans, has surfaced in fresh headlines this week as that epic bout takes center stage again. Yardbarker reports that Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather's hotly anticipated exhibition match is locked in for April 25, 2026, right in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the very site of Foremans infamous defeat. The story, syndicated from HITC, notes how the venue revives memories of that historic night when Ali staged his rope-a-dope miracle against a then-unbeaten Foreman, drawing global eyes to the fighters storied past. Tyson himself hyped the news, declaring its signed and its happening, while the piece underscores the spots lasting boxing lore tied directly to Foreman.
No confirmed public appearances, business moves, or social media buzz from Foreman himself in the last few days, though. Todayville published a glowing profile on February 12 by Bruce Dowbiggin, hailing From Heel to Hero: George Foremans Uniquely American Story, framing his redemption arc from villain to beloved champ and pitchman as pure Americana. Its a reflective nod to his life, but no new quotes or events from the 77-year-old icon. Speculation swirls online about Foreman commenting on the Congo throwbackTyson and Mayweathers clash could echo his own saga but thats unverified chatter, not from reliable outlets. Foremans grill empire stays quiet, with zero fresh deals announced. This Congo redux might spark bigger biographical ripples long-term, cementing his legacy amid modern exhibition mania, but for now, hes letting the headlines do the talking. Stay tunedhes never out of the ring for long.
