George Foreman, who's from Texas, is buried in Iowa: His family just explained why
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (
KCAU) — Lasting impressions can be formed within seconds. And perhaps that’s never been more truer that it was for champion boxer George Foreman, according to a story shared by his family on Thursday.
Foreman, the former world heavyweight champion, died on March 21, 2025, and was laid to rest in Sioux City, Iowa. But his family revealed for the first time on Thursday why Foreman, who’s from Texas, was buried in the Hawkeye State.
George Foreman Jr., at Thursday’s press conference, said his father visited the Sioux City area decades ago and expressed a desire to be buried there.
“He told me that in ’84,” Foreman Jr. remembered. ‘He said, ‘I’m not playing.”
“Once I got here, it all started making sense,” George Foreman V added. “It was very picturesque. He loved beautiful landscapes.”
