George Foreman vs. Shannon Briggs

George Foreman vs. Shannon Briggs was a professional boxing match contested on November 22, 1997 for the ''Lineal'' heavyweight championship.
==Background==
After capturing the WBA and IBF titles from Michael Moorer late in 1994, George Foreman would forfeit his WBA title and make only one defense of his IBF portion, narrowly and controversially defeating little-known German fighter Axel Schulz on April 22, 1995. Though the IBF mandated a rematch between the two, Foreman decided against it and chose to forfeit the title. As he had not been beaten for either title, Foreman remained the ''Lineal'' champion and successfully defended that crown (as well as the lowly regarded WBU heavyweight title) against then-undefeated prospects Crawford Grimsley and Lou Savarese. Following his win over Savarese, Foreman was given the opportunity to face Lennox Lewis for Lewis' WBC heavyweight title, with Foreman first having to win a "eliminator" bout against a contender. The WBC supplied Foreman with a list of acceptable opponents, including future heavyweight champions Chris Byrd and Hasim Rahman and the recently returned former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion James "Buster" Douglas, though Foreman ultimately picked Briggs. Coming into the fight, Briggs sported a 29–1 record with 24 wins coming by way of knockout. However, despite his impressive record, his one loss had been a third round knockout against Darroll "Doin' Damage" Wilson on HBO the previous year which halted his momentum and hurt his status as one of the premier up-and-coming heavyweights.〔(Briggs's Career Hits a Detour ), N.Y. Times article, 1996-03-17, Retrieved on 2013-10-22〕 However, realizing that a win over Foreman would get him back into contention, Briggs vowed to be ready for the fight stating that he was "confident that I can go in and fight for 12 rounds and win a decision."〔(Foreman Blocks the Way as Briggs Moves Up ), N.Y.
