The sports universe is reeling from a gut-punch today as news breaks that George Foreman, the two-time heavyweight champ and grill-selling icon, has passed away at 76!
On March 21, 2025, his family dropped the bombshell on Instagram, confirming that “Big George” slipped away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones in a Houston hospital.
“Our hearts are broken,” they mourned, leaving fans and fighters alike stunned silent—no cause of death has been spilled yet, but the shockwaves are already seismic.
See the post below:
From his 1968 Olympic gold to flattening Joe Frazier in ’73 for his first title, Foreman’s fists wrote history—only to lose it to Muhammad Ali in the epic “Rumble in the Jungle” in ’74. But the comeback king roared back at 45, snatching the crown from Michael Moorer in ’94, becoming the oldest heavyweight champ ever! Then, he traded gloves for grills, selling over 100 million George Foreman Grills and banking a $138 million fortune.
X posts are ablaze: “RIP to a titan—76 wins, 68 KOs, and a legacy that’ll never fade!” Mike Tyson’s condolences hit hard: “His contribution to boxing and beyond will never be forgotten.”

Pastor, pitchman, and puncher—Foreman’s larger-than-life story ended Friday night, but the echoes of his 76-5 record and that “Lean Mean Grilling Machine” catchphrase will ring forever. Who’s next to carry his torch? The world’s holding its breath!

Damn it not Big George Foreman gone to that boxing ring in the Upper Room
Before he became famous for the grill bearing his name, #GeorgeForeman was a pretty good boxer#RIPLegend pic.twitter.com/0hnTgmHfDH
Rest In Peace to two-time heavyweight champion and 2003 IBHOF inductee, 'Big' George Foreman. One of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
