On the night of March 21 to 22 in Houston, the heart of American boxer George Foreman stopped beating at the age of 77.
Details: Foreman's death was announced by his family on Instagram, without specifying the cause, but it is noted that he passed away surrounded by family. The boxer's relatives have chosen to refrain from any further statements.
Reminder: Foreman was the heavyweight champion of the 1968 Olympics, as well as the heavyweight world champion under the WBC (1973—1974), WBA (1973—1974, 1994), and IBF (1994—1995) titles. His last title made him the oldest champion. He relinquished the IBF title on June 29, 1995, at the age of 46 years and 170 days.
One of his five losses in 81 fights came on April 19, 1991, against Evander Holyfield in a bout for the WBC, WBA, and IBF championship titles. In 1997, after a controversial loss to Shannon Briggs (by judges' decision), he retired from his career.
