R.I.P. Muhammad Ali

He was hospitalized yesterday with respiratory issues and is now on life support. Apparently he doesn't have long left.

Muhammad Ali’s family was gathered at his bedside on Friday night as reports in the US stated he was on life support and "barely breathing".

The 74-year-old was taken to hospital in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday to be treated for a respiratory issue.

Bob Gunnell, the family spokesman, said he was in fair condition, and a brief hospital stay was expected. On Friday Mr Gunnell said there was no update on his condition, but two family sources told AP that his condition was more serious than in previous hospital stays.

Ali has been treated in hospital several times in recent years, most recently in early 2015 when he was treated for a severe urinary tract infection initially diagnosed as pneumonia.

US gossip site Radar Online said they had been told the former heavyweight champion was barely breathing.

“He needs every bit of fight he’s got left to survive,” a source told the site.

“Doctors are telling the family that it likely won’t be long until he passes away.”

The greatest sporting figure of all time and one of the most influential persons of the 20th century.

Beyond an icon or legend.

Rest well.

Ali was one of a kind. A 6"3 220lbs man that could box and move round the ring like a middleweight. His against-all-odds wins over Liston and Foreman alone make him the greatest. This man put boxing on the map. No matter where you go in the world people will know his name.

When we were kings is the GOAT sports documentary.

Also do watch Facing Ali, it shows his legendary fights from the perspective of his opponents.
