George Foreman survived a scare and overcame David Haye to set-up a mouth-watering shootout with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.
‘Big George’ climbed up from the ropes to deliver a Haymaker of his own to end proceedings and make the final four of the World Boxing Super Series.
Haye got off to a sluggish start and it was nearly over by the time we blinked with the former two-weight champion on the floor. Not only did he pick up the pieces, he landed a huge right to send Foreman into a world of trouble.
“Best fight so far!” said Kalle Sauerland, Chief Boxing Officer of the eWBSS. “Both men down, Hayemaker so close to the upset but ended with a trademark Big George finish.”
Watch the fight here.
The ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament, simulated on EA Sports ‘Fight Night Champion’ has been made to help cheer up boxing fans around the world in testing times.
