"Big" George Foreman, one of the most impactful and well-known boxers of all time, passed away on Friday, as his family revealed on his social media profile. He was 76.
Foreman, who secured an Olympic gold medal in 1968, was a two-time heavyweight champion and a Hall of Fame fighter.
He is perhaps most famous for the legendary Rumble in the Jungle showdown with Muhammad Ali in 1974 in Zaire, a match Foreman unexpectedly lost via an eighth-round knockout. It remains arguably the most iconic bout in history, and the documentary "When We Were Kings," which captured the event, earned an Academy Award for best documentary feature.
Foreman made history once more later in his career. After losing the heavyweight title to Ali at the age of 25, he fought five additional times, including a fifth-round TKO victory over Joe Frazier (whom he had stopped in two rounds to initially claim the crown) and a thrilling fifth-round knockout of Ron Lyle in a classic slugfest.
