About this listen
Tragic news rocked the boxing world this weekend as legendary heavyweight champion George Foreman passed away Friday at age 76 according to AOL reports. The two-time titleholder one of the sports most beloved figures left behind a legacy of knockouts comebacks and that iconic grill empire that kept him in the spotlight long after the ring. No official cause of death has been released yet but insiders whisper it came peacefully at his Houston home surrounded by family fueling heartfelt tributes pouring in from fellow fighters like Mike Tyson who called him the realest champ ever on Instagram and Evander Holyfield who posted a throwback photo of their epic 90s clashes captioning it pure heart. Foremans final public outing was just last Tuesday at a Texas charity event for youth boxing where he grinned for selfies and quipped about still packing a punch per local ABC affiliate coverage drawing a standing ovation from 500 fans. Business wise his George Foreman Grill brand quietly inked a fresh deal with Walmart for limited-edition retro models announced Thursday on the companys site though sales are sure to skyrocket now as nostalgia hits. Social media exploded overnight with 2 million X mentions by Saturday morning including viral clips of his 1974 Rumble in the Jungle loss to Ali resurfacing alongside memes of his grill outliving us all. No major scandals or whispers in the gossip columns lately Foreman stayed the wholesome preacher type preaching faith and family in a rare podcast drop on Wednesday via his personal YouTube channel reaching 300k views before the news broke. This feels like the end of an era for boxing royalty potentially sparking documentaries or biopics down the line given his improbable 45-year-old comeback win in 1994 the oldest heavyweight title grab ever. Fans are already clamoring for a Hollywood tribute but for now the gloves are down on a true giant.
