Firefighters in Huffman rushed to reports of smoke at the boxing legend's home on Sunday night.

HUFFMAN, Texas — A fire at the mansion of boxing legend George Foreman was contained to its garage, according to the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office.

Firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the large garage connected to Foreman's mansion in Huffman on Sunday night. They had to search through the property to find exactly what was burning.
