Foreman's journey began in the 1960s, and he achieved his first heavyweight championship in 1973, later reclaiming it at age 45 in a stunning comeback in 1994. His family remembered him with heartfelt words on Instagram: "Our hearts are broken." They described him as a devout preacher, a loving father and grandfather, and a humanitarian dedicated to preserving his legacy.

Not just a boxing icon, Foreman was also a household name due to his George Foreman Grill, launched in 1994, which became a culinary staple for many. A father of twelve, he famously named five of his sons George, reflecting his belief in family unity and togetherness. His powerful impact both inside and outside the ring will be felt for generations to come.
