George Foreman, the heavyweight boxing champion known for monumental fights against Muhammad Ali and Michael Moorer, passed away recently. He became famous in his 20s, but returned to boxing at age 45 and stunned fans by reclaiming the title two decades after his iconic fight with Ali. Foreman was not just a boxer; he was an Olympic gold medalist, preacher, businessman, and dedicated family man. His family honored his life, emphasizing his devotion to faith and family, alongside his enduring impact on boxing and society at large.
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.
Foreman began his boxing career as an Olympic gold medalist who inspired fear and awe as he climbed to the peak of the heavyweight division.
The middle-aged fighter then pulled off one of the most spectacular knockouts in boxing history, flooring Moorer - 19 years his junior.
Few fighters ever had more big moments than Big George Foreman - and even after he finally left the ring, he was only getting started.
