Mwamba wa masumbwi George Foreman aliyekuwa akiwadumbua wapianzani wake raundi za mwanzo tu na ambaye alitolewa kamasi na Muhammad Ali mwaka 1974 kwenye pambano la Rumble in the Jungle kule Kinshasa Zaire (wakati huo) naye ametangulia mbele ya haki leo muda mfupi uliopita kabla sijaweka post hii.
Sasa George, Joe na Muhammad wataendeleza mjadala huu wtakapokutana tena huko walikofikia

George Foreman, a heavyweight boxing champion who returned to the sport to regain his title at the improbable age of 45, and parlayed his fame and amiable personality into a multimillion-dollar grill business, died on Friday night at a hospital in Houston. He was 76.
His family announced his death on
his Instagram account. Roy Foreman, George’s brother, said the cause of death was not known.
When Foreman returned to the ring after 10 years away, there was skepticism that a fighter of his years could beat any younger fighter, much less come back to the top of the game. But in 1994, he
beat the undefeated Michael Moorer to reclaim the world title, shocking the boxing world.
Foreman’s career spanned generations: He fought
Chuck Wepner in the 1960s, Dwight Muhammad Qawi in the ’80s and
Evander Holyfield in the ’90s.
With
Joe Frazier and
Muhammad Ali, Foreman embodied a
golden era in the 1970s, when boxing was still a cultural force in America. The three great champions thrilled fans with one
classic bout after another. Foreman was the last living member of the trio.
