On March 21, 2025, George Foreman—the legendary boxer and entrepreneur whose formidable presence in the ring as well as his business ventures made him a household name—passed away peacefully at the age of 76. Foreman’s career was defined by legendary bouts, including his dominant victory over Joe Frazier to win the heavyweight title and his iconic defeat to Muhammad Ali in the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Yet his second act as a celebrity spokesman, particularly for his namesake grill, became even more prominent than his boxing career, making him a beloved figure in American culture. His legacy endures as one of the most inspiring and multifaceted figures in sports history.
