BIG George Foreman, Boxing Champion and Entrepreneur, Dies Aged 76

The death of the heavyweight champion boxer was announced by his family in a post on Instagram

The Guardian 22 MAR 2025

Boxing Hall of Famer and entrepreneur George Foreman has died at age 76, his family has announced in an Instagram post on his account.

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, the post read.

Foreman, a heavyweight champion boxer, was a devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, the familys statement said.

A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world. 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.

An intimidating, thunderous puncher who lost his first title to Muhammad Ali in their famous Rumble in the Jungle in 1974, Big George was a more rotund, jovial figure when he knocked out Michael Moorer for his second crown two decades later.

George Foreman delivers a blow to Joe Frazier on the way to winning his first heavyweight title in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1973.

Soon after his birth in Marshall, Texas, on 10 January 1949, his family moved to Houston where he and his six siblings were raised by a single mother. Growing up poor in the segregated American South, Foreman dropped out of junior high school and used his size and fists in street robberies.

The Job Corps, part of President Lyndon B Johnsons Great Society reforms, rescued me from the gutter, Foreman later wrote. Through the program, 16 year old Foreman moved out of Texas and was encouraged to channel his rage and growing bulk into boxing.

At age 19 and in his 25th amateur fight, Foreman captured the heavyweight boxing gold medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Turning pro, he won 37 straight matches on his way to face reigning champion Joe Frazier in Kingston, Jamaica, winning by technical knockout in round two.

Foreman defended the belt twice more before meeting Ali in Kinshasa, Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in one of the most celebrated boxing matches in history.

Foremans comeback and the fortune he made selling fat wicking electric cooking grills made him an icon of self improvement and success..
