Adrian grills George Foreman
George Foreman, former world heavyweight champion
George has found business success
George Foreman is best known in the UK for losing his heavyweight crown to Muhammad Ali in the "Rumble in the Jungle" of 1974.

But he says that in the US he's now more widely recognised as being the man behind the Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.

Foreman's Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine
The machine has made Foreman over £100 million
This is despite becoming the oldest world heavyweight champion when he regained the title in 1994.

In the US he has sold over 40 million of his grills machine since it was launched in 1995.

And despite only being released here in the UK last Christmas, 2 million have already made their way into our kitchens.

So how does he do it? Or is he just a marketing tool? Adrian dared to ask. Click the link in the top right of the page.
