George Foreman, boxing legend and entrepreneur, dead at 76

Boxing legend George Foreman died, his family announced on Friday. He was 76.

“Our hearts are broken,” the heavyweight champion’s family said in a statement shared on Instagram.

“With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr. who peacefully departed on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.”

They continued, “A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.”

“A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world,” they added.

“He was deeply respected — a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly to preserve his good name— for his family.”

“We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers, and kindly ask for privacy as we honor the extraordinary life of a man we were blessed to call our own,” they concluded their caption alongside a family photo.

Foreman was the face of the iconic George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine and won an Olympic gold medal in 1968.

However, Foreman might be most known for participating in arguably the most famous fight of all time — “The Rumble in the Jungle” against Muhammad Ali in 1974.
