George Foreman, the powerhouse heavyweight boxer best known for his legendary 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” fight against Muhammad Ali, has died at the age of 76. A two-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist, Foreman’s career spanned decades, including a stunning comeback in 1994 when he became the oldest heavyweight champion at 45.
Beyond the ring, Foreman became a successful entrepreneur, famously lending his name to the George Foreman Grill, which sold over 100 million units. He also pursued a career in ministry and remained a beloved figure in the sports world. Foreman is survived by his wife, Mary Joan Martelly, and his children, including five sons—all named George. His influence on boxing and beyond will endure for generations.
