That's a shame. What a likeable personality he had. In his day, he was amazing. RIP, George.

Went to a couple Mayweather fights in GR....George was roaming the stands with a cameraman.
He walked past us and I was amazed at his size...even though he hadn't fought in 10 years or more. I always liked his commercials.....RIP George.

One of my childhood heroes. Decades later, returned as on of my adult heroes. One of the very few boxing personalities that seemed like a genuine, humble, likable guy.

Rest in Peace Sir.
Foreman had 12 children: five sons and seven daughters. His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman#Personal_life_and_death

Actually just watched the highlights of Frazier/Foreman on a FB Reels the other day. Never tire of Howard's commentary. Down goes Frayzah. Another immortal.
