Following in her father’s footsteps, Freeda also boxed professionally– starting in 2000 and retiring the next year. She ended with a record of 5-1, according to The Houston Chronicle.
Freeda is one of Foreman’s seven daughters. Her mother is Andrea Skeete. Foreman also has five sons, all named George, and reportedly his daughters also carry the boxing legend’s name either as a middle name, as Freeda did, or as part of their first name.
Freeda is survived by her husband, two daughters and three grandchildren, along with her parents and 11 siblings.
