Tragedy has struck the family of popular retired boxer George Foreman, according to reports.

Freeda George Foreman, the 42-year-old daughter of the former heavyweight champion, was found dead Saturday in her Houston-area home.

Her father, 70, was an Olympic gold medal-winning boxer who went on to a successful professional career that included bouts against Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton.

Via TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell us … Freeda’s body was found in her home near Houston, Texas by a family member. Cops are awaiting a report from the coroner’s office on the cause of death, but we’re told no foul play is suspected.

Freeda began boxing professionally as a middleweight in 2000 and won her first 5 fights before losing her sixth bout in 2001. She retired after the loss with a pro record of 5-1 with 3 KOs to focus on being a mother and other projects, including boxing promotion.

Her parents also didn’t enjoy her being in the ring … so George reportedly paid her to quit.

She’s survived by her husband, 2 daughters, 3 grandchildren, her parents and 11 siblings.

Since his retirement he has become an equally successful entertainer, TV pitchman and marketer of products, such as his George Foreman-brand grills.
