  "account": "Canadian boxer George Chuvalo, known for his resilience and undefeated record of 93 professional bouts, passed away on his 89th birthday. Born in Toronto in 1937 to Croatian immigrants, Chuvalo discovered his passion for the sport early in life, making his first organized bout at the age of 10. At 17, he became the Canadian amateur heavyweight champion. Although Chuvalo never won a world title, he finished his career with a record of 73-18-2, including 64 knockouts and winning the Canadian heavyweight championship five times. Despite losing to heavyweight champions Joe Frazier and George Foreman, Chuvalo never suffered a knockout himself. He faced the legendary Muhammad Ali twice, losing both fights but lasting the full 15 rounds each time. Chuvalo is survived by his eldest son Mitch, daughter Vanessa, grandchildren, and second wife Joanne.",
