LOS ANGELES: Former heavyweight champion George Foreman, who lost to Muhammad Ali in boxing's iconic 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” before reclaiming the title two decades later, died Friday aged 76, his family said.

Fondly known as Big George, Foreman dropped out of school and went on to become an Olympic gold medallist, two-time world champion and legend of boxing.
He fought 81 times as a professional, winning 76, 68 of those by knockout.
As well as boxing he put his name to the “George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine,” appearing smiling and friendly in the TV ads, becoming a celebrity outside the sport.
“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,” Foreman's family said in a statement on Instagram.
