The film highlighted the former boxing champion’s life when he became famous. And until he turned to the pulpit as a preacher. In the trailer, the actor who played as George said that “‘ preaching is ‘just as hard’ as getting ‘punched in the face.'”
Then at 45 years old, George was forced to return to the boxing ring because of his family and church’s financial struggles. And although it had already been nearly a decade since he was inside the ring, he won the Heavyweight Champion title again.
One of the most famous boxing videos in sports history was “Rumble in the Jungle.” It’s a fight between the legend Muhammad Ali and George.
