Boxing legend and entrepreneur George Foreman has died, his family announced Friday. No cause of death was provided.

Foreman was a two-time world heavyweight champion in his boxing career and took home a Gold medal at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.

He later became known for his George Foreman Grill business.

He was 76.

Foreman’s family, in a statement shared to social media, noted that the iconic boxer was “surrounded by loved ones” at the time of his death.

“A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose,” read the statement, shared alongside a picture of Foreman with his family.

“A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world, He was deeply respected — a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly to preserve his good name— for his family.”

The statement continued, “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers, and kindly ask for privacy as we honor the extraordinary life of a man we were blessed to call our own.”
