About this listen
George Foreman, the legendary two-time heavyweight boxing champion and George Foreman Grill icon, has passed away at age 76. According to Field Level Media via AOL, Foreman died peacefully on Friday, January 30, 2026, surrounded by loved ones, with his family announcing the news directly on his official Instagram page. No cause of death was disclosed, but the heartfelt statement hailed him as a devout preacher, devoted husband, loving father, and proud grand and great-grandfather whose life embodied unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.
This stunning development eclipses all other Foreman chatter in the past few days, sending shockwaves through boxing royalty and beyond. Mike Tyson, another former heavyweight king, tweeted his condolences Friday night, praising Foremans indelible contributions to boxing and beyond. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum called him a great friend to his entire family, lamenting the loss like that of a family member. No public appearances, business moves, or fresh social media mentions have surfaced since the announcement, as tributes dominate timelines.
The timing carries massive biographical weight, capping a saga that vaulted Foreman from 1968 Olympic gold to knocking out Joe Frazier in 1973, surviving the Rumble in the Jungle epic against Muhammad Ali, and improbably reclaiming titles at 46 against Michael Moorer. His post-boxing pivot to ministry and that grill empirewhich sold over 100 million unitsshaped pop culture. YouTube clips recirculating his knockout feats, like the Briggs brawl, spiked alongside speculative family videos, but all verified eyes are on this final knockout blow to fans hearts. Rest easy, Big Georgeyour roar echoes eternal.
