This episode covers the second half George Foreman's boxing career. Foreman was once the most feared boxer of his generation, but time has moved on. He has evolved into a minister and runs a youth centre. George's contemporaries, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton and Muhammad Ali, are all long into their respective retirements. However, with a huge family to support and the centre haemorrhaging cash, the big man considers the unthinkable. Facing a wall of disdain and criticism from the Boxing community - supported only by the man who took his title away, Ali, - George Foreman takes the difficult journey back to the prize ring. However, this is not some exhibition tour or a few fights to make a quick buck. Big George wants to become the heavyweight champion of the world again.
