Foreman To Box Again

Tue., March 11, 1997

Enough already with the age business, said 48-year-old George Foreman, who still likes to think of himself as the heavyweight champion of the world.

He can still talk himself into million-dollar paydays, even as champion of the World Boxing Union, an organization run out of an apartment in London.

Foreman (75-4) announced he would defend that title on April 26 in Atlantic City against Lou Savarese (36-0, with 30 knockouts) of the Bronx.
