George Foreman Dead At 76
Boxing legend George Foreman has died at 76 years old, his family announced Friday.
“Big George” — a two-time heavyweight champion — participated in some of the most important boxing events of all time.
Foreman burst onto the scene in 1968 at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City … where he won a gold medal.
Shortly after the Games, George turned pro. In 1973, Foreman defeated then undefeated heavyweight champ, Joe Frazier, securing his first title just years into his professional career.
After defending the belt twice, George, 25 years old and unbeaten, faced Muhammad Ali in 1974 in one of the most memorable boxing matches ever, coined “The Rumble In The Jungle,” in Zaire.
George Foreman was a patriot who loved this country.

George Foreman was on FOX News yesterday and he discussed the current disrespect some athletes show of the US.
Retired world champion boxer George Foreman sounded off Wednesday as several high-profile U.S. athletes continue to publicly express anti-Americanism, in concert with some segments of social society…
I have always loved America. And once you fall in love just like falling in love with your wife, no one can say anything about her,” Foreman remarked. “The next night she is still my wife. And I’m going to stay. That’s why you make that thing ‘until death do we part.’ That’s why nothing has ever shook my faith and love in the country and when you love a country, nothing can bother you. If you are halfway in love you are going to have a lot of trouble.”
Rest in peace, sir.
