Boxing’s oldest champ ‘Big George Foreman’ immortalized on big screen

Sports and movie fans can now score an experience of a big win punch exclusive at Ayala Malls Cinemas with the sports biopic “Big George Foreman.”

“Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World”, directed by George Tillman Jr. (Men of Honor; The Hate U Give) and starring Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah), charts the legendary fighter’s improbable rise from poverty to win the title, his decision to abandon the ring to preach from the pulpit, and his ultimate return at the age of 45 to become the oldest boxing champion in the sport’s history.

Moving beyond the headlines, it’s also an intimate portrait of the man himself. The titular character is played by Krhis Davis and Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker also stars alongside as Foreman’s coach, mentor and trusted friend, Charles “Doc” Broadus.

Ayala Malls Cinemas presents director Tillman’s work as he brings back the historic athlete’s glory on the big screen that delivers boxing’s ultimate comeback story, charting Foreman’s inspirational rise from poverty to Olympic and World Heavyweight champion.

With Hollywood’s new heavyweight hopeful, Khris Davis in “Big George Foreman” delivers a must-see performance as the former two-time heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman in his biggest screen role yet.

Foreman shares, “I may get hit by a car tomorrow. Anything could happen. But I sure would like to have my story out there. And so that’s why I pushed to really do the movie and have it told. You just never know what tomorrow might bring. But once the movie is there, it’s there. It will be around.”

Further, he looks forward for the film audiences to realize that it’s never too late to be the better version of themselves after seeing the movie. “What I like most about the film is that it’s going to be around and everybody who looks at it will say: ‘I can do better than that.’ Especially those who have to get up, brush their pants off, spit in their palms and try again. I think people will say, ‘If he can do it, I know I can do what I got to do.’ That kind of thing, whatever it is, even if it’s not more than: ‘I’m going back to college.’ That’s what I hope people get out of this. Get up. Brush your pants off, fight, and do it all over again. It’s never too late.”
