George Foreman, Boxing Legend & Grill King, Passes Away at 76

Buy Me A Coffee

We have lost a true heavyweight—both in the boxing ring and in the kitchen. George Foreman, the two-time heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, and the reason half of America learned how to make a mean panini, has passed away at 76.

His family confirmed the sad news on his official Instagram page, reminding the world that he wasn’t just a knockout machine but also a preacher, a husband, a father, and, let’s be honest, the only guy who could sell millions of grills without even being a chef.

“A force for good, a man of discipline, and a protector of his legacy,” the statement read. And protect it, he did—both in and out of the ring. If you thought dodging punches from Muhammad Ali was tough, try arguing with someone about whether the George Foreman Grill is better than an air fryer.

Foreman’s life was the definition of a comeback story. He went from Olympic champ to world champion to retired boxer, then came back to win the heavyweight title again at the age of 45—because apparently, he missed hitting people. And when he wasn’t throwing punches, he was out here making sure people ate slightly healthier hamburgers with all that grease magically draining away.

From the boxing gloves to the spatula, George Foreman left an impact. He’ll forever be remembered as a legend, an icon, and the reason we all own a small countertop grill we swear we’ll use more often.

RIP, champ. The world will never forget you—or your grills.
