George Foreman vs Michael Moorer

Foreman was 45 years old when he knocked out Michael Moorer on November 5, 1994, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The victory made Foreman the oldest heavyweight world champion in boxing history, a record that still stands today.

Foreman knocked out Moorer in the tenth round with a sharp right hand, despite having lost nearly every round on all three judges' scorecards up to that point. Moorer had been controlling the fight with his boxing skills, but Foreman's power proved decisive with a single clean shot that ended the bout.

Foreman won the WBA and IBF heavyweight championships by defeating Moorer, who held both belts at the time. By winning these titles, Foreman reclaimed a version of the heavyweight crown he had first held 20 years earlier when he defeated Joe Frazier in 1973, marking the longest gap between heavyweight title reigns in boxing history.

Foreman weighed approximately 250 pounds for the Moorer fight, significantly heavier than most heavyweight champions of the era. Despite his age and weight, his power and experience proved sufficient, and the victory launched a second phase of his career that would later make him even more famous through the George Foreman Grill.
