The boxing world mourns the loss of George Foreman, the legendary two-time heavyweight champion who passed away at 76. From Olympic gold in 1968 to reclaiming the world title at 45, Foreman’s career was nothing short of extraordinary. His knockout power and resilience made him one of the most feared fighters in history, but his influence extended far beyond the ring.
After a shocking loss to Muhammad Ali in the iconic “Rumble in the Jungle,” Foreman reinvented himself—first as a preacher, then as a businessman. His return to boxing in his 40s proved doubters wrong, making him the oldest heavyweight champion ever. Outside the sport, the George Foreman Grill turned him into a global brand, earning him more than his legendary punches ever did.
His family announced his passing with a heartfelt tribute, calling him a man of faith, discipline, and integrity. From troubled youth to Olympic hero, from heavyweight titan to beloved entrepreneur, Foreman’s legacy is one of perseverance and transformation.
