George Foreman, the renowned American boxer known as ‘Big George’, has passed away at the age of 76. A four-time world heavyweight champion, Foreman won gold at the Olympics and achieved numerous title belts throughout his career.
In a recent autobiography, he reflected on his life saying, “I was waving the flag for myself and for my country.” This sentiment echoes his pride in representing America during his competitions.
Foreman once described losing the world title to Muhammad Ali as “the most embarrassing moment” of his life but later realized it was an opportunity that led him to share his message through preaching.
The legendary boxer often referred to his opponents, including Ali, as tough individuals he had encountered during his career. Foreman’s remarkable journey is a testament to his resilience and determination.
