    With each punishing jab, 19-year-old George Foreman was taking one more step towards healing the painful memories of his childhood.
    He was fighting the Soviet Union's Ionas Chepulis - his fourth and final victim en route to the 1968 Olympics heavyweight boxing title. It was billed as the 'Cold War clash', but it was not the politics that drove the American teenager to victory.

    Interesting.
