George Foreman’s ‘buddy’ photo with Donald Trump surfaces after boxing legend’s death

George Foreman and President Donald Trump were ‘buddies’ after all. The legendary boxer’s old photo with the Republican went viral on social media immediately after the former’s family announced his death. Foreman was 76 years old and passed away ‘surrounded by family’.

In 1991, Foreman fought Evander Holyfield at the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City. He lost via unanimous decision. President Trump and his then-wife Marla Maples were in attendance at the fight. Video clips of Trump promoting the fight have surfaced on social media.

However, a famous Trump-Foreman moment came in October 1997. The boxer, the Republican and Shannon Briggs posed at the Times Square in New York City.

Longtime Trump adviser Bruce LaVell shared the picture on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. He, however, misdated the 1997 image.

“Two great American businessmen! George Foreman and Donald Trump, 1991,” LaVell wrote in the caption.
