Meeting legend was a privilege and fascinating.. he's a true gent

GEORGE Foreman was an absolute gent. The boxing legend was one of the nicest people I have ever interviewed.

We met in 2016 in Birmingham after being introduced through a mutual friend.

He agreed to an interview and we sat chatting for over an hour - well over our allocated time.

I'd taken some copies of old Daily Mirrors with me which reported his 1974 Rumble in the Jungle fight with Muhammad Ali.

He was absolutely fascinated by them.

But he was just as intrigued by the adverts next to the stories about the famous bout.
