The story of Foreman’s return to the ring after a ten-year exile is as remarkable as his unlikely passage to Olympic glory in 1968 and his first world heavyweight title in 1973. Foreman defied the odds and in the middle of his boxing career, made millions and millions from his lean and mean grilling machine. What a life.

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

The sports, entertainment and political world is reacting to the death of two-time heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman. His family said he died Friday. He was 76.
