Born in Marshall, Texas. Foreman grew up in a family where he was one of seven children in Houston’s Fifth Ward community. Leaving school for the streets as a teenager, Foreman described those years as troubled in his memoir but those rough times would change after he entered Job Corps at his mother’s request.

Through these humble beginnings, he would go on to become a larger-than-life figure in the sport.
