Known as Big George in the ring, the American competed for decades starting in the 1960s, winning gold at the Olympics and numerous title belts, including the world heavyweight title twice.

In his autobiography, he said he was waving the flag "as much for myself as for the country".

"I was letting everyone know who I was and at the same time saying that I was proud to be an American."

He once called the loss the "most embarrassing moment" of his life.
