Muhammad Ali’s spokesman Bob Gunnell has reported Ali’s condition has improved after being admitted to hospital with pneumonia.
The 72-year-old was taken to hospital at an undisclosed location after falling ill last Saturday morning.
“The Ali family continues to request privacy and appreciates all of the prayers and well wishes,” spokesman Bob Gunnell said. “No further details are being released.”
A three-time world heavyweight champion and widely recognised as the greatest boxer of all time, Ali, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, made a rare public appearance in September to attend a ceremony in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, for the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards.
Nicknamed The Greatest, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years after he retired from boxing in 1981 with a record of 56 wins from 61 professional contests.
