The world of sports has lost a titan. George Foreman, the legendary boxer who redefined heavyweight boxing and inspired generations, has died at the age of 76.

His family confirmed his passing on Friday, describing him as a devoted preacher, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Foreman dominated the boxing ring for over two decades, securing two heavyweight titles and an Olympic gold medal in 1968.

His legendary showdown with Muhammad Ali in the historic “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974 remains one of the most iconic fights in boxing history.

Beyond the ring, Foreman built an empire. He became the face of the George Foreman Grill, a global success with over 100 million units sold.

He was also an ordained minister and an author, inspiring many with his resilience and faith.

Foreman’s legacy extends far beyond his powerful punches.

He shocked the world by reclaiming the heavyweight title at 45, proving that greatness knows no age.

His journey from boxing champ to business mogul and preacher solidified his place as a true icon.

Tributes have flooded in from fans and athletes worldwide, celebrating the life of a man whose impact stretched far beyond the sport.

Victor Osimhen delivered a masterclass performance on Friday night, scoring a hat-trick as Galatasaray cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor at Rams Park.

The Nigerian forward opened the scoring in the 30th minute, finishing off a precise pass from Álvaro Morata.

Morata doubled the lead from the penalty spot just before halftime, and Osimhen struck again in stoppage time, capitalizing on an assist from B. Yılmaz. He sealed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute after a well-placed pass from Y. Akgün.

The emphatic win cements Galatasaray’s grip on the Turkish Süper Lig title race, extending their points tally to 71.

The league leaders remain unbeaten, boasting 22 wins and five draws, with a 10-point cushion over Fenerbahçe, who have played two games fewer.

Osimhen’s latest heroics take his league tally to 20 goals in 22 appearances, making him the league’s top scorer.

Since joining on loan from Napoli after the fourth match of the season, he has netted 26 goals and provided five assists across all competitions in 30 appearances.

The match also marked a milestone for head coach Okan Buruk, who celebrated his 100th game in charge. Before kickoff, he was honored with a commemorative plaque.

Galatasaray made several second-half substitutions, with Roland Sallai, Dries Mertens, and Mario Lemina replacing Yunus Akgün, Lucas Torreira, and Osimhen in the 68th minute.

Antalyaspor’s only real threat came in the 73rd minute when Van de Streek’s shot was denied by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

Galatasaray will now shift focus to their upcoming clash against Beşiktaş, looking to extend their unbeaten run and tighten their grip on the league title.
