George Foreman has ended his latest retirement after only 16 days - claiming he wants to fight one more time in Las Vegas at the age of 50. The former world heavyweight champion lost a controversial decision to Shannon Briggs on November 22nd in Atlantic City, but said he plans to fight at least one more time before hanging up his gloves.
Foreman said: "In 13 months from today, I'll be 50 years old. I would like to have one last boxing match in Las Vegas - a 50-yearold man enters the ring with a top contender and then calls it quits, but someone's really got to give me a good whoopin'. I don't want anyone to slap me around and abuse me. I want a whoopin'."
Foreman said his career was over after losing to Briggs, the two-time champion's first bout in almost seven months.
Foreman's record fell to 76-5, but his comeback after an idle decade will always be remembered for his 1994 knockout of Michael Moorer, which enabled him to regain the world title.
