MEXICO CITY - The death of George Foreman signals the end of the golden age of heavyweight boxing and the gap of over two decades between his two world titles is a unique record that will never be broken, World Boxing Council (WBC) president Mauricio Sulaiman said.

Foreman, who beat Joe Frazier in 1973 for the world title, which he lost to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble In The Jungle in 1974 and then knocked out Michael Moorer for the heavyweight title at the age of 45, died on March 21 at 76.

Sulaiman remembers Foreman as a man who defied expectations to reignite his passion for the sport, eventually becoming the oldest ever heavyweight champion after a change in his approach to life.
