The world of boxing mourns the loss of a real heavyweight titan, George Foreman, who died at the age of 76.

In a cordial statement issued on social media, the Foreman family shared their regret: “Our hearts are broken. With deep sadness we announce the departure of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr., who calmly left on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.

“A pious preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father and a proud grandfather and great -grandfather, lived with a life marked by unwavering faith, humility and goal.”

They still respected his heritage, stating: “Humanitarian, Olympian and two -time heavyweight champion, he was deeply respected – strength for good discipline, conviction and defender of his legacy, fighting for tirelessly to keep his good name – for his family.”

The family expressed gratitude for the support they received, and asked for privacy: “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers and ask for privacy when we worship the extraordinary life of a man who we were blessed to name our own.”

The excellent career of Foreman began with the victory of the Golden Medal in the heavyweight department at the Summer Olympic Games in 1968, and then the following year the transformation of professionals. His amazing journey included the dethronization of the previously undefeated Joe Frazier with a knockout of the second round to get the heavyweight title in 1973, he informs Mirror us

Unexplored, Foreman defended his heavyweight crown twice before he suffered the first professional loss from Muhammad Ali’s hands in the cult show in the show in the jungle in 1974. The fight is considered one of the biggest attacks in history, fighting with each other for two versatile great in front of each other in the front in the front and back.

After he did not win the next world title, Foreman lost to Jimmy Adolescent in 1977 and turned to retirement. Ten years later, Foreman sensationally announced the return and in the age of 45 he defeated Michael Moorerer – 19 years younger – to win the titles of WBA championships, IBF and a linear heavyweight.

Foreman finally dropped the WBA belt when he refused to defend the title, and after defending his title IBF against Alex Schulz, the American gave up the belt. At the age of 46 and 169 days, Forman became the oldest heavyweight champion in history.

Foreman remains the oldest warrior who has ever won the title of the world in bulky weight and the second oldest in every weight class, behind Bernard Hopkins in a slight bulky weight. At the age of 48 with a record of 76 wins – 68 via knockout – and five losses, Foreman called his excellent career in 1997.

Foreman was also a world -class entrepreneur, introducing George Foreman Grill. Since its inception in 1994, over 100 million pieces of George Foreman grills have been sold around the world.

San Diego (May 10, 2025) – “El Vaquero” returned to Sunchang Arena San Diego, trying to win his fans. The victory won, simply the way he imagined it.

Emanuel Navarrete He kept his lightweight WBO Junior World on Saturday evening with a technical decision from the eighth round over the Filipino claimant Charly Suarez. The fight was suspended early due to the cut -off of the left eye of Navarrete, which was ruled by judge Edward Collantes, was caused by an accidental head title.

Navarrete (40-2-1, 32 KO) came out shooting, firing wild right hands and jumping left hooks that bloodied the nose of Suarez in the opening round. Suarez (18-1, 10 Kos), Olympian 2016, found moments of success, sometimes landing on Navarrete’s head, and sometimes only on his gloves.

In the sixth, Navarrete suffered a cut, and they both still traded with ponderous shots in seventh place, when Mexico began to bleed abundantly. The ring doctor waved him just after Bell sounded to start the eighth round.

Navarrete won the results of 77-76 2x and 78-75.

“This is the spirit of a warrior to be a Mexico who helped us today,” said Navarrete. “I felt good, I felt mighty, I felt complete. Unfortunately, what happened with my head, of course that it ended. But when we fought, I felt good.

“From the first moment I knew it was the title of the head. He completely divided the eyebrows and from the first moment I noticed that it was the title of the head.”

Suarez said: “I’m sorrowful at the moment, but it’s part of the game and I know that Navarrete won the fight, but it’s part of the game. I would like to make a rematch. I want a rematch with Navarrete.”
