Foreman ponders comeback at 55

George Foreman will step up plans to make his boxing comeback if Lennox Lewis suffers a shock defeat on Saturday night.

The 55-year-old American, who became the oldest boxer in history to win the championship in 1994 aged 45, admits he would never get into the ring with Lewis.

But he will look to make a return if the Brit is beaten by Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko in Los Angeles.

"I'm very serious," said Foreman. "Get Lewis out of the business, I could come back tomorrow. He's too big, he's experienced and he has reach.

"I've been serious about this all along. I've told people for the last five or six years that at 55 I'm coming back.

"At my 55th birthday in January it's going to take a lot of persuasion for me not to come back. I've never given up my training, though I don't spar.

"I figure no one should hit you for free."

Foreman is confident he would get a licence to box from the American authorities despite the obvious concerns about what it could do to a man of his age.

"I want to be examined properly by my doctors but I'm always given a clean bill of health," he added in the New York Post.

Foreman won his first world title when he knocked out Joe Frazier in 1973 before losing it to Muhammad Ali in the 'Rumble In The Jungle' in Zaire the following year.

He was crowned champion again 20 years later when he stopped Michael Moorer.

The 1968 Olympic champion's last fight was in 1997 when he was controversially beaten by Shannon Briggs.

he doesn't stand a chance. The size and strength of boxers these days would destroy Foreman. Also boxers take supplements that Foreman never took.
