The boxing world mourns the loss of George Foreman, the two-time heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, and entrepreneur, who passed away late Friday at the age of 76. Tributes have poured in from across the globe, celebrating his monumental impact on boxing and his life beyond the ring.

Mike Tyson, former World Heavyweight Champion, expressed his condolences, stating, "Condolences to George Foreman’s family. His contribution to boxing and beyond will never be forgotten." Tyson fondly remembered Foreman, affectionately called 'Iron Tyson', highlighting Foreman's lasting legacy.

Former United States President Donald Trump also conveyed his sadness, describing Foreman as a "great person, with a personality that was bigger than life." In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump remarked on Foreman's powerful punch, stating, "He had, without question, the heaviest and biggest punch in the history of boxing. With the exception of Ali, when you got hit, you went down." Trump extended his condolences to Foreman's family, emphasizing that Foreman would be missed.

George Foreman's career was marked by significant achievements, including an Olympic gold medal in 1968 and two heavyweight titles. He secured his place in boxing history with a remarkable record of 76 wins, 68 by knockout. One of his most memorable fights was the 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" against Muhammad Ali in Zaire, where he suffered an eighth-round knockout loss. This fight remains one of the most iconic in boxing history and was immortalized in the Oscar-winning documentary "When We Were Kings."

Foreman's career experienced a resurgence when, after a decade-long break, he made a comeback to boxing. In 1994, at the age of 45, he reclaimed the heavyweight title, becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in history. Beyond boxing, Foreman achieved considerable success as an entrepreneur with the George Foreman Grill, a venture that reportedly surpassed his boxing earnings.

Foreman's family confirmed his passing, describing him as "a man of faith, humility, and purpose." Born in 1949 in Texas, Foreman overcame a challenging youth to rise to prominence as a champion. After retiring from boxing in 1977, he dedicated himself to preaching before his unexpected return to the sport.

George Foreman's influence extended beyond sports into business and ministry, leaving an indelible mark on society. He was married five times and had 12 children, including five sons, all named George. His legacy as a boxer, businessman, and man of faith will continue to inspire for generations to come.
