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.”
George Foreman’s legacy as a champion, entrepreneur, and humanitarian will continue to inspire
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that it will withhold $40.6 million in federal funding from California, citing the state’s failure to fully enforce a rule requiring commercial truck drivers to demonstrate English proficiency. According to federal law, truck drivers must be able to read road signs, respond to official inquiries, and complete paperwork in English. The DOT argues that California’s existing licensing system does not adequately ensure that all drivers meet these requirements. In response, California officials assert that their system already complies with federal standards. This penalty affects California’s ability to receive reimbursements for truck safety programs, including inspections and enforcement activities, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.
Newsom Defies Federal Law: California Risks $160 Million in Federal Funds Over Trucking Licenses California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a showdown with federal authorities after the state DMV unilaterally extended the deadline for revoking 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses held by foreign nationals. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted the extension as illegal, warning that if California doesn’t revoke the licenses by January 5, it could lose nearly $160 million in vital federal highway funds. As Newsom continues to push policies that defy federal laws, Californians may soon pay the price, with federal funds at risk and public safety concerns growing. This is just another example of Newsom’s reckless governance putting the state in jeopardy.

President Trump’s proposal to revoke green cards and visas of Hamas supporters directly targets foreign nationals who fund or promote terrorist activities against the United States and its allies. Allowing such individuals to remain in the country poses a serious threat to national security, public safety, and American families. Deporting them reinforces that the U.S. will not tolerate support for violent extremist organizations on its soil. Do you support this?
