Boxing legend George Foreman has died. He was 76.

His family made the announcement on his official Instagram page:

Our hearts are broken. 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. A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.

A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world, He was deeply respected — a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly to preserve his good name— for his family.

We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers, and kindly ask for privacy as we honor the extraordinary life of a man we were blessed to call our own.

George Foreman was a two-time world heavyweight boxing champion and Olympic medalist. He’s also most famous for the “George Foreman Grill” which found its way in almost every home in America (we owned one!)

Absolutely one of the greats.
