Muhammad Ali is currently in hospital with respiratory issues, a complication brought on by his Parkinson’s disease.
Sources close to his family have said although the former boxer is in and out of hospital quite a lot at 74 years of age, his family are considerably worried this time around.
The two sources spoke separately to describe Ali’s condition, which they say is concerning to family members.
They declined to be named because they were not speaking on behalf of the family.
A spokesperson for Muhammad Ali sent a press release last night, saying the former heavyweight champion is being treated at an unnamed hospital for a respiratory issue, but was in a fair condition, and that a brief hospital stay is expected.
Ali has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s for over three decades now.
We will update this story if further information arises.
