The two -time heavyweight champion George Foreman dies at the age of 76
Published
4 days agoon

“Substantial” George Foreman, one of the most influential and recognizable boxers of all time, died on Friday, his family Announced on his account on social media.
He was 76 years venerable.
Foreman, who won the Olympic gold medal in 1968, was a two -time heavyweight champion and Hall of Fame boxer.
Perhaps he is best known for the historical rumble in the jungle with Muhammad Ali in 1974 in Zaire, the foreman lost nervousness by the end of the eighth round. This is probably the most renowned struggle of all time and the film “When Were Kings”, which described the fight, won the Oscar for the best documentary.
Foreman once again underwent a story later in his career. He fought five times after he lost the championship in massive weight from Ali at the age of 25, including the victory of TKO in the fifth round over Joe Frazier (whom he stopped in two rounds to win the title for the first time) and the fifth round of Ron Lyle in a classic slugfest.
After the fifth fight at the age of 28, Foreman shockingly announced a pension and began his career as an ordained minister in his hometown of Texas.
Foreman was retired for 10 years. He returned to boxing in 1987 at the age of 38 and probably installed the most impressive sports return in history.
Initially, Foreman pulled the record with uncomplicated victories. One of them was a knockout in the second round of Gerry Cooney. But then, in 1991, Foreman proved that this return was real when he pushed the great Evander Holyfield on the edge in a classic fight for the title in massive weight at the age of 42. Although he failed to become a two -time heavyweight champion, Foreman was not listed.
Five fights later, after losing to Tommy Morrison, Foreman reached unthinkable.
On the results cards in the next fight for the title Foreman he was combined with two strokes, which put Michael Moorer for 10 in 1994. At the age of 45 and 299 days, Foreman was once again a heavyweight champion of the world, the oldest man who took the largest prize in boxing (and also the oldest master in history, which was for 20 years).
“It happened,” Jim Lampley called to the HBO transmission. “It happened!”
Foreman had a successful career with Lampley as a HBO boxing analyst. But his greatest success outside the ring has not yet come.
In the same year, Foreman defeated Moorerera, launched his title grill, which sold over 100 million pieces around the world.
In 1999 he sold the commercial rights of George Foreman Grill for $ 138 million.
Foreman’s last fight took place in November 1997, in most losses of decisions for Shannon Briggs.
For 12 years he maintained his role in HBO as a ring analyst, ending in 2004.
The ring called Foreman the ninth of the great puncher of all time, and in 2002 one of the 25 best boxers of the last 80 years.
In the Top Range statement, he called Foreman “one of the biggest hits and personalities he has ever seen.”
“George was a great friend not only himself, but for my whole family,” said Bob Arum, the chairman of the highest class. “We lost a family member and we are absolutely devastated.”
For his part, Lampley said that Foreman’s death was “a huge loss” and that he feels “blessed and privileged, that he knew him.”
“Tonight I am flooded with tears after I found out about the death of my dear friend and transmission partner George Foreman. I loved him,” said Lampley in a statement. “He was a great warrior and far, a much bigger man. Every great thing that happened to him, and there was a lot of unusual blessings, was richly deserved. My thoughts and prayers are today with his family, friends and a prejudice.”

“Canelo does not give AF*”: Mikey Garcia says that Alvarez from the construction of a “enterprise” worth $ 400 million, prioritized to treat straightforward fights and great payments for fans’ demands

Mikey Garcia says that Canelo Alvarez is only a “businessman” at this moment of her career, fighting only for money, not caring for what fans think about the fact that in straightforward fighting. Garcia says that Canelo (62-2, 39 KO) is like “undertaking” Now, earning a colossal fortune and stopping to do $ 400 million.
Mikey says that Canelo just takes “low risk, high prizes” about “collecting money” and does not blame him.
Ignoring fans’ demands
The Mexican Super Gwiazda creates dynasty With a cake that he earns in battles and has not encountered a tough opponent since his defeat with Dmitry Bivol on May 7, 2022. The last five fights of Alvarez were straightforward, and fans believe that he is on the retirement route, only for money. Apparently he doesn’t listen to fans anymore because he twisted David Benavidez and David Morrell.
Fortune Canelo is now estimated at $ 250 million, and this number is expected to augment after three three fights with the super middle champion IBF William Scullem 3 Maja, Terenka Crawford on September 13, and perhaps Dmitry Bivol, Chris Eubank Jr, Conor Benn or Hamzah Sheraz in the first half of 2026.
SCULL selection
“I don’t know if fans also know this guy, but I also know that Canelo doesn’t give AF ***,” said Mikey Garcia Sports media YSM About the unquestioned clash of Super Middle weight Canelo Alvarez with the little-known IBF champion 168-LB William Scull on May 3 in Riyjad, Saudi Arabia.
Free boxing fans do not know who Cuban William Scull is, but it does not matter. Canelo needs his title Super Middle in IBF weight so that he can take part in the clash with Terenka Crawford as the undisputed master in September. These are all superficial marketing things for image purposes to augment the interest of boxing fans who care about Crawford, who have the chance to become a thirt -level unquestioned champion.
Casual fans do not care that this is the undisputed, because they either do not know who 38-year-old 38-year-old Crawford is or are not his fans. He is not an extremely popular warrior because of his style, inaction [he fights once a year]and non -existent presence in social media.
Fans prefer Canelo to fight Benavidez, Morrell or Diego Paczeco on May 3 instead of Scull. He won’t do it because it would be tough fights that he could lose. Besides, it must be undisputed again To create artificial interest In his fight with Crawford. He would not need it if Crawford moved to a super medium weight and defeated the two or three best fighters in the division. This will not happen because Crawford is physically capable of defeating fighters such as Benavidez, Morrell or Pakco. He is too vintage, tender, diminutive and inactive to defeat these guys. In his last fight he barely beat the 154-pound Israil Madrimov.
“Canelo is there to fight this guy, become a champion again, collect this belt [IBF] Once again, become undisputed again and collect a lot of payment, “said Mikey.” Then his up-to-date fights will be the same. He collects a lot of payment for all the fight he chooses. “
It is a pity that boxing does not work like a real sport in which fighters like Canelo would be forced to fight in his division, and truck was not allowed. Canelo would probably lose to Benavidez, Morrell and other pretenders. His career would end years ago. Crawford would not be able to transfer two divisions to immediately challenge the titles in Super Middle Wweight without winning the title, beating the best pretenders.
The explosion of “businessman” Garcia
“Canelo does not give AF *** what we think or say about who he is fighting,” said Mikey. “His goals are no longer in boxing achievements. He already did it. He was a champion in four divisions. He was undisputed. He was at the top of the game.
“For him, he is now to collect all the money he can. He could leave a year or two years ago, but why would he have 2, 3,400 million dollars on the table? He won’t leave. He won’t leave.
“I can’t blame him. He is now more a businessman than a warrior,” continued Mikey about Canelo. “He wants to become a substantial brand, a substantial name, like a company or something like that. He knows that there are so many possibilities to earn money in boxing. Why should he leave? He doesn’t care that Alvarez is now focused on money.

Ben was crazy that Aj Bum was rushing fresh Dubois in fifth place after he went in four previous rounds.
Joshua replaced Rob McCracken As his trainer after the first defeat with Oleksandre Usyk in 2021, 12-round defeat of the decision. This loss was petite things compared to the massacre we saw in September last year Joshua was plundering by Dubois and left at the stake on the canvas.
AJ makes sense to sluggish down Davison after a much worse failure, and his career hangs by the thread. Joshua cannot afford another loss due to bad coaching advice.

He admitted that the corner was incensed,” said Paul Smith to do so Boxing TalkSportTalking about Anthony Joshua’s council in his fifth round of losing to the heavyweight champion IBF Daniel Dubois on September 21.

“It’s just a recovery. You’re coming back a bit,” said Spencer Oliver about Joshua.
“Just bull s *** in fighting in the next two or three rounds. Let Dubois get tired because he is fighting for nerves, Dubois is. Then you have a better chance. I think he must change his team and get a good coach,” said Smith about Aj.
