====Foreman vs. Holyfield====
{{Main|Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman}}

The following year, Foreman was given the opportunity to challenge undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield for the world title in a [[pay-per-view]] boxing event. Very few boxing experts gave the 42-year-old Foreman a chance of winning. Foreman, who weighed in at 257 pounds, began the contest by marching forward, absorbing several of Holyfield's best combinations and occasionally landing a powerful swing of his own. Holyfield proved too tough and agile to knock down and was well ahead on points throughout the fight, but Foreman surprised many by lasting the full 12 rounds, losing his challenge on points, with scores of 116–111, 115–112, and 117–110.

====Foreman vs. Stewart====
{{main|George Foreman vs. Alex Stewart}}

A year later, Foreman fought journeyman [[Alex Stewart (boxer)|Alex Stewart]], who had previously been stopped in the first round by Mike Tyson. Foreman knocked down Stewart twice in the second round, but expended a lot of energy in doing so. He was subsequently tired, and Stewart rebounded. By the end of the 10th and final round, Foreman's face was bloodied and swollen, but the judges awarded him a majority decision win, with scores of 94–94 and 94–93 twice.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/4340/6033|access-date=March 22, 2025|title= George Foreman v.

====Foreman vs. Morrison====

Foreman received another title shot, although this was for the vacant [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] title. Foreman's opponent was [[Tommy Morrison]], a young prospect known for his punching power. Morrison retreated throughout the fight, refusing to trade toe-to-toe, and sometimes turned his back on Foreman. The strategy paid off and he outboxed Foreman from long range. After 12 rounds, Morrison won a unanimous decision, with two scores of 117–110 and one score of 118–109.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/1993/06/08/morrison-wins-over-foreman-but-not-fans-boxing/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250322115831/https://www.baltimoresun.com/1993/06/08/morrison-wins-over-foreman-but-not-fans-boxing/ |archive-date=March 22, 2025 |date=June 6, 1993 |title=Morrison Wins Over Foreman, But Not Fans |newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]]}}</ref>

In this period, Foreman also starred briefly in the [[sitcom|situation comedy]] ''[[George (1993 TV series)|George]]'' on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].<ref name="sitcom">{{cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Jennifer M. |title=Remembering George Foreman's Strange, Short-Lived '90s Sitcom |url=https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/george-forman-forgotten-90s-sitcom |website=Men's Journal |access-date=March 27, 2025 |date=March 22, 2025}}</ref> The show, which featured Foreman as a retired boxer, premiered in November 1993, and ran for nine episodes, though ten were made.
