Foreman Knocks Out Anderson In First Round of London Bout(Associated Press)- George Foreman's quest to regain the heavyweight championship he lost almost 15 years ago took another small step forward tonight when Foreman scored the 24th consecutive victory of his comeback with a first-round knockout of Terry Anderson. Foreman, who is 42 years old and weighed in at 259 pounds, hit Anderson with a left jab and then clubbed him with a right with six seconds left in the round. Anderson was counted out and stayed on the canvas for about a minute, then got up to hug Foreman. The knockout in the scheduled 10-rounder at the London Arena was the 65th of Foreman's career and improved his record to 69-2 over all. He has not been beaten since beginning his comeback three years ago. Foreman said he hoped to challenge the winner of the world title fight on Oct. 25 between the champion James (Buster) Douglas and Evander Holyfield. Foreman went into the fight six pounds lighter than expected, but said he was hitting harder than ever. "The guy ran right into a straight right hand," Foreman said. "That was the hardest right hand I've ever thrown." "My power is back. I thought I had lost it to Muhammad Ali and now I feel as strong as I did as a teen-ager," said Foreman, who lost his title to Ali in Kinshasa, Zaire, on Oct. 31, 1974. Anderson, a 30-year-old Floridian who entered the fight with a 19-3 record, attacked Foreman's midsection with little effect. Some of the estimated 4,000 fans laughed in derision when Anderson tried to wrap his hands around Foreman's huge frame. Foreman outweighed Anderson by 22 pounds.
