American boxing legend George Foreman passed away on Saturday at the age of 76.
Foreman's family announced his death in a statement on Instagram, saying, "With deep sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr., who departed peacefully on March 21, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones.
The statement added, "He was a humanitarian, an Olympian, and a two-time world champion, highly respected and admired. He was a force for good, a man of discipline and faith, and a protector of his legacy, tirelessly working to uphold his name and family.
Foreman is considered one of the greatest athletes to return to the ring after retirement, reclaiming the heavyweight boxing title and becoming a prominent figure in sales and entrepreneurship.
He earned the world title twice and won an Olympic gold medal in 1968 at the Mexico City Olympics.
