George Foreman As a Reverend

Since 1980, George Foreman has been preaching at The Church of Lord Jesus Christ. He chose to retire to spread the word of God to the people in his church.

During the late 1970s, he has a 30-minute radio time that airs in Houston. He used this as his means of preaching over the radio. He also did lead bible studies for some of his friends.

Though he did not intend to build a church, big crowds started to attend his preachings which once started as informal meetings at his friends’ houses. Aside from regular preaching, he also did charitable works and built an athletic center for children.

His athletic center has locker rooms, cardio machines, a workout area exclusive for women, weights, a basketball court, two boxing rings, and several punching bags. All youth can use these facilities with a low annual fee based on age.

Partnerships

Now that he is out of the ring, he established partnerships with different companies for his business ventures and charitable works. He partnered with Inventhelp, a company from Pennsylvania that helps inventors of new products make it to large companies.

He also partnered with LMCA, George Foreman’s licensing agency, to find partners for his brand.

His Knockout Formula from Real Time Pain Relief has also helped American people to soothe their arthritis, sprains, back pains, cramps, and muscle strains. He partnered with the brand to formulate pain relieving creams that can be a medicine staple for every American household.

Appearances

After his retirement, he appeared on several episodes of tv programs. These include George, King Of The Hill, and Fast and Loud. He was also featured in CNN’s Talk Asia, Sports Extra, and American Legion.

George Foreman still maintains his active lifestyle and still trains continuously since he believes that his life is built on exercise. Though he avoided lifting when he was just starting his boxing career, he now does it in his home gym along with a treadmill, stationary bikes, and other workout equipment.
