Foreman Forever

Compiled From Wire Services

George Foreman is looking forward to boxing in the 21st century.

Whether he does depends on whether he can continue to command purses such as the $4 million he’s getting to fight Lou Savarese in a 12-round bout tonight in Atlantic City, N.J.

“I want to fight into my 50s. I like what I’m doing at this age, I really like it,” said the 48-year-old Foreman.

He was an undisputed heavyweight champion in 1973-74, and at 45 became the oldest heavyweight champion ever when he knocked out Michael Moorer for the IBF-WBA titles in 1994.

Andrew Golota’s back injury has caused the entire May 16 fight card in New York’s Madison Square Garden to be postponed.

Golota was to fight Ray Mercer in the main event of the show to be televised by HBO.
