George Foreman laid to rest in Iowa, drawn by a peaceful 1988 visit

George Foreman-Iowa Burial - (Sioux City Journal)

The late boxing great George Foreman lies buried in a cemetery in the northwestern corner of Iowa — a place he has no connection to outside of a lone visit to the region nearly 40 years ago.

Foreman died March 21, 2025, at the age of 76 in Houston and was buried in Logan Park Cemetery at Sioux City, Iowa, a month later, city officials confirmed. Foreman's family returned Thursday to his burial site, holding a news conference with Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott to reveal Foreman's burial place, marked by a large monument that bears an image of him as a teen following his Olympic gold medal boxing win.
