Foreman attended Fay School in Southborough, Massachusetts. He graduated from Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana, in 2001 with a high school diploma, where he played lacrosse.
He always loved boxing, but never got involved with the sport until his early teens. When he was 19, he went to the gym to do some sparring, but never went back because he did not want his father to find out. His mother, Andre Skeete-Foreman, never thought that he would ever become a boxer because he was so calm and would never lose his temper.
Foreman earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from Rice University where he studied Business and Sports Management, and went on to serve as the business manager of his father"s empire and executive vice president of George Foreman Enterprises, Incorporated.
Foreman starred on the East! network"s reality series Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive.
Foreman III started training for boxing in July 2009, with very similar training methods to his father – the "torture chamber", in which he dragged a Jeep as far as he could, dug holes, chopped wood and ran to the point of exhaustion. He made his professional debut stopping Clyde Weaver at 1:16 of the first round.
He floored Weaver twice: first with a left to the chin, then with a left to the body, before the referee called a halt to the match. He is currently 16–0 in professional boxing as of December 2012.
His last bout was on December 6, 2012, in Cancún, Mexico.
Analysts have mentioned that George III possesses similarities to his father"s boxing traits, such as his stamina and power. Other analysts have commented that Foreman III has a great combination of Strength, Speed, and Agility.
