Former world heavyweight champion and boxing legend George Foreman will be given the major biopic treatment, with Sony set to release Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World in theaters on April 28, 2023.
Khris Davis will portray Foreman in the film, which also stars Forest Whitaker, and looks like it will cover Foreman’s entire career and those times in his career outside of the ring, too, which led him from part one of his career into part two, which were quite different.
George Foreman, also known as Big George, is a retired American professional boxer. He was born on January 10, 1949, in Marshall, Texas.
