According to reports, two women have filed lawsuits in Los Angeles, saying that George Foreman sexually abused them when they were teenagers.

The lawsuits are asking for a lot of money.

The woman said she met the boxer through her father, who worked with him. She said he started "grooming" her by taking her out for ice cream and allowing her to sit on his lap as he drove while she was 13 years old.

He was in his 20's at the time.

The other woman said she met the boxer through her father.

She said he began molesting and sexually abusing her when she was 16 years old.

The women said that when he was confronted about his actions by a friend, he did not deny them.

He emphatically denied the allegations. I am proud of my reputation and will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies.

The women are trying to get money from me and my family.

The age of the man is 73 years. His last boxing match was in 1997.
