Freeda began her short pro boxing career as a middleweight in 2000. She won her first five fights, but after losing her sixth in 2001, she retired with a record of 5-1 with 3 KOs so that she could focus on being a mother. Freeda’s parents didn’t like her boxing, so George reportedly paid her to quit.
Freeda was born in Texas and is one of George Foreman’s seven daughters. George also has five sons, all named George, and Freeda’s middle name is George. Freeda also has a sister named Georgetta.
Along with her famous dad, Freeda Foreman is survived by her husband, two daughters, three grandchildren, her parents and 11 siblings.
