After enjoying one of the most storied careers in the history of boxing, the sporting world has united in grief following the announcement of the death of George Foreman

George Foreman lived a happy and fulfilling post-career. That remains the exception in boxing, a sport that can afford to look after its old heroes but chooses not to.

He claimed a world title in his 20s and, improbably, again in his 40s. He then made millions selling the George Foreman Grill.
