A giant is the word for Foreman, a man so colossal for boxing and the great nation of the United States of America, it has hit everyone very hard this weekend. Foreman had gone quiet in recent times so there was concern for him for a while from those in boxing but his loved ones wish for privacy at the moment as regards his death.

The world is mourning the loss of former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, who passed away at the age of 76 on Friday. His family confirmed the news in a heartfelt Instagram post, describing him as a "devout preacher," "protector of his legacy" and a "force for good."
