"Big George" Foreman isn't just a legendary boxer, he's also a Houstonian.
I got meet him a long time ago when he came to the radio station.
He autographed my George Foreman grill.
A biopic about his life and career is coming out soon and the trailer just dropped.
Check out Big George Foreman...
I think this looks great!
George was born in Marshall, but grew up in Fifth Ward.
He had a rough childhood, but eventually found a love for boxing.
Big George had a lot of success in the ring, but his life really changed after a near-death experience that he had in his dressing room.
We see that moment in the trailer above.
He went on to become an ordained minister, started a youth center & church on Lone Oak Road and brought us the awesome George Foreman grill that we still use today!
If you want to learn more about him and what he's got going on here in Houston, you can do it HERE.
We can watch Big George Foreman when it hits theaters April 28th.
