Overview
- Foreman’s family, which held a news conference Thursday with Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott, publicly confirmed his gravesite at Logan Park Cemetery.
- The newly placed monument features a large image of Foreman after his 1968 Olympic gold, with additional laser-etched scenes from his boxing career.
- City officials said Foreman died on March 21, 2025, at age 76 in Houston and was buried about a month later at Logan Park Cemetery overlooking the Loess Hills.
- His family said he asked to rest in Iowa because a 1988 visit to the Loess Hills gave him lasting calm, and they thanked local officials for helping honor that wish.
- The former heavyweight champion won Olympic gold in 1968, reclaimed the title in 1994 at 45, and later became widely known for the George Foreman Grill, which sold over 100 million units.
