George Edward Foreman (1949–2025) was an American professional boxer, entrepreneur, minister, and author. After a troubled childhood, Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Having turned professional the next year, he won the world heavyweight title with a stunning second-round knockout of the then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. He defended the belt twice before suffering his first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman
Foreman had 12 children - including five sons who are all also named George. He once explained that he named them after himself so they "they would always have something in common".
