He leaves behind a towering legacy in sport, business, and popular culture – a true heavyweight in every sense
Two-time world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, also known for the George Foreman Grill, died at age 76. He won a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics and defeated Joe Frazier in 1973 to become champion. Foreman lost to Muhammad Ali in the "Rumble in the Jungle" in 1974, later staging a comeback to reclaim the title at 45, becoming the oldest heavyweight champion.
