The cause of death was not initially revealed by the family.
Foreman was a two-time world heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist who is regarded as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history. One his most memorable punches was the knockout blow he landed against Michael Moorer in 1994 when Foreman became the oldest heavyweight champion in history at 45.
He was inducted into both the World Boxing Hall of Fame and the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
"But my life is much more than boxing – I've been knocked out more outside the ring than in the ring," Foreman told USA TODAY in 2023.
REST IN PEACE MR. FOREMAN.
