Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman died Friday after an illustrious career that took him from the boxing ring to a multimillion-dollar grill business, the New York Times reported.
Foreman’s death was confirmed Friday by his family in an Instagram post. His cause of death was not revealed.
Notably, Foreman regained his title as heavyweight boxing champion in 1994 at the age of 45 in a career that spanned generations, the Times noted.
