The boxing legend and grill mogul has left a lasting impact

Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, who won an Olympic Gold Medal in 1968, passed away at the age of 76. Known for his powerful right hook and charismatic personality, Foreman was a two-time heavyweight champion and also famous for promoting his countertop grill. His family announced his death on Instagram, describing him as a devoted preacher, husband, father, and a respected figure in the boxing world. Despite suffering a loss to Muhammad Ali in 1974, Foreman made a comeback at the age of 45 to regain the heavyweight title in 1994.
