George Foreman was born on January 10, 1949, in Marshall, Texas, United States, and was single-handedly raised by his mother in Marshall and then in Houston’s Fifth Ward, where his mother moved in search of work. When he was fourteen, his mother was hospitalized for an emotional collapse brought on in part by his bad behavior.

George Foreman’s mother sent a letter home that contained $45 to pay for his sister’s graduation ring. George, who soon after that dropped out of school, stole the cash and bought a hat, a sweater, and a bottle of Thunderbird wine. For the next two years, he mostly lived on the streets, sleeping in abandoned shells of houses, playing dice, and rolling winos. His chums called him Monkey.
