not my grill. Thank god.
I must be the only person going who did not know he was a boxer! I just thought he was a guy who was mad for grilled food like.

Either way, while I didn’t know him for his boxing talent I knew him as the name on my grill which has served me plenty of great meals over the years.

RIP George. I’ll grill a sandwich with you in mind this evening.

A boxing legend. Himself and Ali became great friends after the Rumble. End of an era. RIP.

One of the most compelling stories in sports history. His comeback both as a fighter and man is inspiring

I'm 47, It took me 10 minutes to get out of bed this morning.

He became world heavyweight boxing champion at 45.

Named all 5 of his sons George and one of his daughters Georgette or Georgina or something. Mad.

You could at least get his name right OP, it's written on your grill.

RIP George

So annoying that every time you see the thread title. Anyway, I heard the grill people originally asked Hulk Hogan to be the face of their new product but he wasn't intetested. Lucky for George who was their second choice, he has made millions off the deal.

According to Hogan he was interested in the grill but just missed the phone call. He ended up getting a meatball maker instead.

There would be another famine in Ireland if it wasn't for the Hulk meatball maker in fairness.

Must be very confusing. What does he call them George 1, 2 etc.

Makes sense when you've been punched repeatedly for years, the only name he could think of

Sorted now thanks to @Sephiroth_dude

What a powerhouse he was. Immense strength with enormous punching power, literally everything about him was about force, power, strength, dominance & being able to crush & destroy his opponents in the ring 🥊

… apart from Ali of course.

I looked it up.

One daughter is named Georgetta, but the other six have non George names. 😊

His son was called Red Foreman 😎
