On November 5, 1994, George Foreman knocked out the younger champion, Michael Moorer, who was only 26. Foreman was 45 and this win made him the oldest boxing champ ever. Moorer was 35-0 and had expected to win easily. The World Boxing Association refused to sanction the fight originally, partly because of Foreman’s age. Foreman sued and won on the grounds of age discrimination. Round-by-round, Moorer out-boxed Foreman, but in the tenth round, Foreman landed a knockout punch.
