ON THE SIDELINES : Foreman Pulls Out of Aug. 17 Bout
- Share via
NEW YORK — A hand injury has forced former heavyweight champion George Foreman to pull out of his Aug. 17 fight against Michael Greer in Las Vegas, the USA Network said Tuesday.
The network had planned to televise the bout. Spokesman Leslie Anne Wade said Foreman will return to the ring on Sept. 14 as part of a boxing double-header from San Jose.
Wade said Foreman’s opponent for that fight, which will be shown on USA, has not been determined.
Foreman, 40, hurt his hand in his last fight, a 10-round decision over Everett (Big Foot) Martin on July 20. It was Foreman’s 19th straight victory since beginning his comeback.
