- Accomplished boxer George Foreman has passed away.
*
Get ready to say goodbye to the legendary American boxer, George Foreman. He left us peacefully on March 21, 2025, at a hospital in Houston, Texas, surrounded by his loving family. In his 76 years of life, he was a force to be reckoned with, not just in the ring, but in faith, humility, and determination too.
Foreman, the man of the people, was a two-time heavyweight champion and an Olympic participant, who left an indelible mark on the world of boxing. His family fondly remembers him as a man of discipline and conviction, a beacon of goodwill, and a pillar of resilience.
The announcement of his passing was made through a heart-wrenching statement shared on Foreman's official Instagram account on March 22, 2025. The incisive post praised his incredible life, saying,
"As a devoted preacher, a dedicated husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather, his life was marked by unshakable faith, humility, and determination."
Foreman's career spanned an impressive five decades, with his retirement occurring in 1997. In 1968, he won a gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City, and from 1973 to 1974, he reigned as WBC and WBA champion. The most talked-about fight of his career, however, was the legendary match against Muhammad Ali on October 30, 1974, known as "The Rumble in the Jungle." Though Foreman lost the fight, it has gone down in history as one of the greatest boxing matches of all time.
We share in the profound sorrow of his family and pray for them as they honor and celebrate the life of a truly extraordinary man. May George Foreman's sincere and indomitable spirit continue to inspire generations to come.
