I cannot remember a time when I was not getting into fights.
George Foreman
As long as I'm reading, I'm at home.
George Foreman
They say I don't fight guys unless they're on a respirator. That's incorrect. They have to be at least 3 days off a respirator.

I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you've got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.

There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing. Writers are not writing about us big boys anymore and I tell you right, however you feel, take something, find it, and use it because American needs something to read about.

And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.
George Foreman

As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.
George Foreman
So many of us have loved ones and people we really care about, and the only time we show affection is when they are gone. I have preached at funerals, and you see loved ones who didnt even say hello to dear ones when they were alive. Give them hugs, kisses while they are alive and need it.
George Foreman
All the dogs I have are German shepherds from Germany, and I fly them back to Germany to show them.
George Foreman
I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.
