Klitschko win would intensify focus to fight again

A boxing comeback as a 50-something? George Foreman has some limitations for it, but apparently he's all game.
The former two-time heavyweight champion told the New York Post in a story published Wednesday that a Vitali Klitschko upset of Lennox Lewis on Saturday in Los Angeles would intensity his focus to fight again.
"I'm very serious" about coming back, said Foreman, who will call the Klitschko-Lewis bout for HBO. "I've been serious about this all along."
Foreman will turn 55 in January. He last fought in November 1997, when he lost to Shannon Briggs, and told the Post he does not want to fight current champion Lewis or Mike Tyson.
"I've told people for the last five or six years, that at 55 I'm coming back," Foreman told the Post. "At my 55th birthday, it's going to take a lot of persuasion and a lot of hard work for me not to come back."
Foreman was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on June 8 -- even though he has never officially retired.
