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.
