George Foreman, the former heavyweight boxing champion, has passed away at the age of 76, announced by his family on social media. Known for his historic fight against Muhammad Ali during the 'Rumble in the Jungle', Foreman was a two-time heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Born in Texas and starting boxing at 16, he gained fame after winning his first heavyweight title in 1973 against Joe Frazier. After retiring, he became an ordained minister but returned to win his second title at 45, making him the oldest champion in history. Foreman retired in 1997, leaving a legacy of 76 wins out of 81 battles.
