Boxing Legend George Foreman Passes Away at 76

March 22, 2025

George Foreman, the legendary heavyweight boxing champion and Olympic gold medalist, has died at the age of 76, his family announced on Friday.

In a heartfelt statement shared on Instagram, Foreman’s family expressed their sorrow, saying, “Our hearts are broken. 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.”

A towering figure in sports and beyond, Foreman was remembered not only for his dominance in the ring but also for his deep faith, strong family values, and humanitarian work. “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,” his family stated.

Foreman, a two-time heavyweight champion, was an Olympian and an icon who left an indelible mark on boxing history. His most famous bout, the 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” against Muhammad Ali, remains one of the most talked-about fights of all time.

Beyond boxing, Foreman became a successful entrepreneur, widely recognized for the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine, a product that cemented his status as a cultural figure beyond sports.

His family acknowledged his enduring legacy, describing him as “a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy.” They also expressed gratitude for the support they have received: “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.”

Foreman’s impact stretched far beyond the ring.  His loss marks the end of an era, but his legacy will continue to inspire athletes, entrepreneurs, and admirers worldwide.
