The trailer for the upcoming faith-centric movie Big George Foreman recently launched, showcasing the boxer’s transformation from heavyweight champion to preacher and then heavyweight champion again.
Foreman famously won two heavyweight titles two decades apart – in 1973 and then in 1994. His “Rumble in the Jungle” bout with Muhammid Ali in 1974 – Foreman came into the match undefeated but lost – remains one of the most famous boxing events in sports history.
A 1968 Olympic Gold medalist, he became a Christian minister in the late 1970s.
Big George Foreman stars Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Foreman and Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker as Foreman’s trainer and mentor, Doc Broadus. George Tillman Jr. (This Is Us, The Hate U Give) directed it. The Sony Pictures/Affirm Films movie will be released in theaters on April 28.
