Freeda Foreman entered boxing in her mid-20s in pursuit of following in her famous father’s footsteps. She won five straight fights but lost her sixth before announcing her retirement. Rumors claimed that Foreman paid her to retire from boxing because he feared for her safety.
Freeda, who was 42 at the time of her death, had two daughters, a husband, and three grandchildren.
TMZ reported that the coroner would determine her final cause of death, but early speculations suspect suicide.
