Breaking news : George Foreman, one of the most influential and recognizable boxers of all time, died Friday, his family announced on his social media account. He was 76.
George Foreman, a towering figure in the world of boxing and entrepreneurship, passed away on March 21, 2025, at the age of 76. His family announced his death on social media, stating, “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.”
**Early Life and Boxing Career**
Born on January 10, 1949, in Marshall, Texas, Foreman was raised in Houston’s Fifth Ward. He began boxing at the age of 16, quickly rising through the amateur ranks. At 19, he secured a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Turning professional in 1969, Foreman became a dominant force in the heavyweight division. In 1973, he won the world heavyweight title by defeating the undefeated Joe Frazier in Jamaica. The fight was notable for the iconic call, “Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!” by commentator Howard Cosell.
Foreman’s career reached a pivotal moment in 1974 during the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire, where he faced Muhammad Ali. Despite being the favorite, Foreman lost the bout in the eighth round, marking his first professional defeat. After a series of wins, he retired in 1977 following a loss to Jimmy Young. This period of introspection led to a religious awakening, and Foreman became an ordained Christian minister.
**Return to Boxing and Later Achievements**
In 1987, Foreman made a remarkable return to boxing at the age of 38. He won 12 consecutive fights, culminating in a 1994 victory over Michael Moorer to reclaim the heavyweight title at 45, becoming the oldest world heavyweight champion in history.
**Entrepreneurship and Other Ventures**
Beyond boxing, Foreman achieved significant success as an entrepreneur. He became the face of the George Foreman Grill, a fat-reducing cooking appliance that sold over 100 million units worldwide. The endorsement earned him substantial earnings, reportedly around $138 million in 1999. citeturn0search22 Foreman also ventured into television, starring in the ABC sitcom “George” and making appearances on various shows, including “The Masked Singer.”
**Legacy**
Foreman’s life was characterized by resilience, faith, and transformation. From a troubled youth to a world champion and successful businessman, his journey inspired many. His family described him as “a devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather,” and expressed gratitude for the “outpouring of love and prayers” following his passing.
Tributes from around the world have poured in, celebrating Foreman’s contributions to sports, business, and society. Boxing promoter Bob Arum reflected, “George was a great friend to not only myself but to my entire family. We’ve lost a family member and are absolutely devastated.”
