George Foreman, celebrated for his remarkable boxing career and entrepreneurial acumen, died at 76. He famously regained the heavyweight title at age 45 and became renowned for endorsing products, particularly the Foreman Grill, cementing his legacy beyond the ring.

Foreman's journey began in Marshall, Texas. Raised in Houston by a single mother, he overcame adversity in the segregated South. His life took a turn when the Job Corps introduced him to boxing, culminating in a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics and later a world championship win.
