Freeda Foreman, the daughter of boxing icon George Foreman, has been found dead in Texas, according to reports.

A family member found the 42-year-old’s body at her home near Houston on Saturday, according to ABC 13.

Detectives investigating her death do not suspect foul play.

Ms Foreman worked as a professional boxer from 2000 to 2001 before retiring from the ring.

She finished her career with a record of five wins and one defeat with three knockouts, leaving the sport to become a boxing promoter and raise a family.

The 42-year-old is one of the boxing legend’s 12 children.

The cause of death is yet to be determined.
