George Foreman vs. Mike Jameson: Big George’s Atlantic City Statement
On March 17, 1990, at the Trump Castle in Atlantic City, the boxing world once again witnessed the power of a man who refused to fade away. George Foreman, then 41 years old, continued his improbable comeback against durable journeyman Mike Jameson. What unfolded that night was not just a routine win — it was another chapter in one of the most remarkable second acts in boxing history.
Foreman’s Comeback Path
After a decade-long retirement following his 1977 loss to Jimmy Young, Foreman shocked the sporting world in 1987 by announcing his return. Many dismissed it as a publicity stunt, but Foreman was determined. With every fight, he silenced critics who said he was too old, too heavy, and too slow. By 1990, he had amassed a string of knockout wins, and Mike Jameson was selected as another test of his endurance and power.
Jameson wasn’t a title contender, but he was respected for his toughness. Known for lasting the distance with solid fighters, he promised not to simply roll over for the former heavyweight champion.
The Fight: A War of Wills
From the opening bell, Foreman set the tone. Moving with the plodding but deliberate style that defined his comeback years, he worked behind a heavy jab, looking for openings to unleash his crushing right hand. Jameson did his best to answer, landing some counters, but every exchange reminded fans of the difference in power.
Foreman’s shots weren’t just punches — they were statements. Each hook and cross shook Jameson and drew roars from the Atlantic City crowd. Yet, unlike some of Foreman’s previous comeback opponents who folded early, Jameson dug deep. He absorbed punishment, clinched when necessary, and kept fighting back, determined to survive.
A Bloody End
As the rounds wore on, Foreman’s dominance became clear. By the fourth and fifth, Jameson’s face showed the toll — swelling, blood, and exhaustion. Foreman stalked patiently, landing heavy combinations that pushed Jameson to the ropes again and again.
Finally, in the sixth round, Foreman’s relentless pressure forced the referee to stop the bout. Jameson, bloodied and battered, had taken too much. Foreman was declared the winner by technical knockout, another stoppage victory that extended his comeback streak.
Aftermath and Significance
Though the fight didn’t have the glamour of a title match, it was an important stepping stone. By defeating a durable opponent like Jameson, Foreman proved his power was real, not a nostalgia act. Each victory built momentum for his ultimate goal: another shot at the heavyweight crown.
Just four years later, in 1994, Foreman’s comeback journey reached its peak when he knocked out Michael Moorer to reclaim the heavyweight championship at age 45. That extraordinary night in Las Vegas made him the oldest man ever to win the title — but the foundation was laid in bouts like the one against Mike Jameson.
On March 17, 1990, George Foreman reminded the world that legends never truly fade. They endure, they evolve, and sometimes, they come back stronger.
The Three Who Will Never Forgive: Why Prince Harry’s Return May Be Impossible
Even in a family where duty often outweighs emotion, few stories sting as deeply as that of Prince Harry and the royal rift that has captured the world’s attention. While speculation continues about a possible return to royal life for the Duke of Sussex, those closest to the crown remain unconvinced — and, in some cases, quietly opposed.
In particular, three senior royals have reportedly drawn a clear emotional and moral line: Princess Anne, Prince William, and Queen Camilla. All three have personal histories with Harry, each once marked by warmth — now cooled by what they perceive as betrayal.
Princess Anne: From Protector to Opponent
Perhaps the most poignant change of heart comes from Princess Anne, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter. Known for her no-nonsense approach, work ethic, and deep commitment to the monarchy, Anne was once among Harry’s quietest defenders. She saw in him a spark of the modern monarchy — a chance to evolve without losing its soul.
Sources close to the palace say that Anne often took Harry’s side during family tensions, and even stood up for him in private discussions with the Queen, urging patience as the young prince struggled with the media and his role.
But in recent years, particularly following Harry and Meghan’s high-profile interviews and his memoir “Spare”, Anne's tone has shifted. For a woman who has served over 50 years without fanfare
“Anne is one of the most traditional members of the family,” one former royal aide said. “To her, loyalty and discretion are non-negotiable. And Harry broke both.”
Prince William: A Brotherhood Broken
The most public and painful fracture, however, is undoubtedly between Prince William and his younger brother. From the day Diana died, the two princes appeared to be each other’s lifeline — united by trauma, bonded by blood.
But that unity began to unravel long before Harry left for California.
The turning point, insiders say, happened during Harry’s 2018 wedding. At the time, Kate Middleton had just given birth
William, fiercely protective of his wife, was reportedly outraged by Meghan’s remark, and deeply hurt by Harry’s failure to intervene or defend Kate. What had once been minor tensions escalated into a full emotional rupture
Today, William is focused on his future role as king — and many close to the palace believe he no longer trusts Harry
Queen Camilla: A Silent but Firm Wall
The third and perhaps most unexpected opponent to Harry’s return is Queen Camilla. While the public has often speculated about tensions between Meghan and Camilla, few realize how deeply personal the issue has become for the Queen Consort.
Those who know her say Camilla is not easily rattled. She survived decades of public scrutiny and slowly gained acceptance through discretion, loyalty to Charles, and a quiet strength. But
“Camilla didn’t marry for love,” one insider claimed, “She married for position, influence — and yes, control. But she did it with Charles’s full support. For Harry to attack that, to question her motives, was seen as not just disrespectful — but dangerous.”
Camilla has remained publicly composed, but palace sources confirm she has no intention of welcoming Harry back into the fold. Her influence over Charles has grown significantly in recent years — and
A Family Divided — and Unmoved
For many royal watchers, especially those who’ve followed the Windsors for decades, this story is not just about family drama. It’s about something deeper:
Can Harry return? Legally, yes. Emotionally, perhaps. But in the hearts of the three individuals who know him best — and who’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with the monarchy —
And in the royal family, once that door shuts, it rarely opens again.
