Heavyweight boxing legend George Foreman, known for his incredible career has died at the age of 76, BBC reported.
Known as “Big George,” Foreman built one of the most remarkable legacies in the sport. He won Olympic gold in 1968 and claimed the world heavyweight title twice, 21 years apart. At age 45, he became the oldest champion in history.
He first won the heavyweight title in 1973 by defeating Joe Frazier, knocking him down six times in the first two rounds. However, he lost the title a year later in the legendary “Rumble in the Jungle” against Muhammad Ali. The fight remains one of boxing’s most famous showdowns.
Foreman retired from boxing in 1977 and became a preacher, but he made a stunning comeback a decade later. He fought for another 10 years, ultimately reclaiming the heavyweight title in 1994 by knocking out Michael Moorer. That victory made him the oldest heavyweight champion ever.
Beyond the ring, Foreman became a successful entrepreneur. He lent his name to the George Foreman Grill, which sold over 100 million units worldwide. The grill’s success earned him more money than his boxing career.
Foreman’s family announced his passing in an Instagram post on Friday night, remembering him as “a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather.” The statement also described him as a man of “unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.”
Born in Marshall, Texas, on January 10, 1949, Foreman grew up in poverty with six siblings. He dropped out of school and turned to crime before finding salvation in boxing.
