George Foreman, the former two-time heavyweight champion of the world, has died at the age of 76, his family announced Friday night on Instagram.
“With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr. who peacefully departed on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones,” the post read. “A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.” More
It’s a very elite fraternity who had the privilege of punching Muhammad Ali in the face. – Dr. Tar
What about all all those products he attached his name to? Will they be rebranding with another sports figure endorsing them? Will they continue to use George’s name on them and pay royalties to his family? Will they just shut their doors? Will they try to sell the products without any endorsement?
RIP George Foreman.
Too young!
RIP Sir.
I’ve seen many interviews of him and his family over the years and I believe that he was a genuinely good man. RIP George.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:”
I was sorry to see this.
He seemed like a genuinely good guy
Many boxing champs were either showboaters, clowns or thugs.
Foreman was a class act.
RIP, George.
RIP
I still don’t think I could take him.
@Dadof4 – “…I still don’t think I could take him…”
Probably a true statement, seeing as it would be four against one – George, and the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, against you. Good luck!
George was a believer, this was and is the most important thing in his life. In that we can rejoice.
GEORGE was the REAL CHAMP! Not that loud mouth draft dodging pussie ali.
Forman used to live in our area. A couple of business we use have pictures of Forman with the business owner. One is a tailor shop owned by a little Asian guy. Forman is twice as big as the tailor.
I could be wrong, but I think Forman had an investment in the products with his name. I don’t think it was a matter of it just being a paid celebrity endorsement.
