Boxing Legend George Foreman Dies at 76

George Foreman, the two-time World Heavyweight Champion, passed away on Friday night at the age of 76.

Known for his incredible power and resilience, the former champion leaves behind a legacy that spans decades.

A towering figure in boxing, Foreman suffered a famous defeat to Muhammad Ali in the iconic 1974 ‘Rumble in the Jungle.’

However, he made history 20 years later by reclaiming the heavyweight title at 45, knocking out Michael Moorer, who was 19 years younger.

The victory cemented his status as the oldest heavyweight champion in history.

Born in Texas, he first gained recognition as an Olympic gold medalist before dominating the heavyweight division.

In 1973, he announced himself to the world by stopping Joe Frazier at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, a defining moment early in his professional career.

Following his final retirement in 1997, Foreman became widely associated with the George Foreman Grill, a product that sold over 100 million units and proved more lucrative than his boxing career.

He also found success as a boxing analyst with HBO, offering insights on the sport he once ruled.

His story was brought to the big screen in a 2023 biographical film, highlighting his remarkable journey.

A father of 12, he gave all five of his sons the name George Edward Foreman, a unique decision that reflected his deep sense of identity and legacy.
