How ironically sad that legendary boxer George Foreman and Colin Hart, who for 50 years or so had been the pre-eminent writer on the sport for The Sun, should have died within hours of each other.

The world is mourning the loss of former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, who passed away at the age of 76 on Friday. His family confirmed the news in a heartfelt Instagram post, describing him as a "devout preacher," "protector of his legacy" and a "force for good."

He claimed a world title in his 20s and, improbably, again in his 40s. He then made millions selling the George Foreman Grill.
