George Foreman shuts down sexual abuse claims
In an interview with TMZ Sports, “Big George” talked about the legal battles he’s facing. Both women’s fathers had a friendship and working relationship with the boxer decades ago. As reported. the suit is expected to allege that Foreman sexually abused the women in the 1970s.
“Over the past six months, two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family. They are falsely claiming that I sexually abused them over 45 years ago in the 1970s.”
“I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations. The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments, and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies.” (ht TMZ Sports)
“I am, and always will be, guided by my faith and trust in God. I will work with my lawyers to fully and truthfully expose my accusers’ scheme and defend myself in court. I don’t pick fights, but I don’t run away from them either.”
The legendary boxer racked up an impressive record of 76-5. Recently, he advised Conor McGregor to quit MMA and go for a fight with Manny Pacquiao as well as offered Nate Robinson coaching for a Jake Paul rematch although not much developed on either end.
