In 1999,
still only a teenager, he moved to Brooklyn, New
York, where he continued to pursue his ambitions
of turning professional while working in the
garment district in Manhattan.
Training
at the legendary Gleason´s Gym, he won the 2000
Golden Gloves, and eventually accomplished his
goal of becoming a professional when he made his
paid debut in January of 2002 after a 75-5
amateur career.
Over the
next four years he compiled an unblemished 19-0
record, fighting on various promoters shows and
defeating decent opposition.
Foreman
was then signed up by one of the most
influential promotional companies in the world,
Top Rank, which is when things really took off
for him.
He
established himself as a top-contender with wins
over Anthony Thompson (23-1), Andrey Tsurkan
(25-2), Saul Roman (28-4) and James Moore
(16-1), and in November of 2009 he reached the
absolute top when he scored a wide decision over
Daniel Santos (32-3-1) to become world champion.
Its been
stop-start for the last ten years, but, an
ordained Rabbi since 2014, Foreman is a man of
faith, and he believes that if he defeats
Williams and wins the UBO title, he is back on
track to becoming world champion again.
The
journey continues!
