The world of boxing has lost a true legend with the passing of George Foreman at the age of 76. Known for his ‘superhuman strength,’ Foreman was an American professional boxer and two-time heavyweight champion who became an iconic figure in sports history. His career included a legendary defeat by Muhammad Ali in the famous ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ match in 1974. After retiring from boxing at the age of 28, Foreman made an unexpected return to the ring ten years later, reclaiming his world champion title in 1994 at the age of 45 by defeating Michael Moorer. Beyond boxing, he also became a successful product promoter and humanitarian. Foreman’s family announced his peaceful passing on Friday via Instagram, surrounded by loved ones.
