After being hospitalized Thursday in Arizona, Muhammad Ali is in bad shape, media reports say, quoting a source close to the family as saying: “His children are all extremely concerned and dropped everything to be with him. They fear the worst.”
The former boxing great is thought to be on life support in a Scottsdale, Arizona, faciity.
The Express tabloid in Britain reported: “A source close to the family said: Doctors are working to regulate his breathing put it is being hampered by his Parkinson’s. Like in the ring, Ali is a fighter on the ward.”
Thursday, spokesman Bob Gunnell said Ali was in a fair condition. However, it appears Ali’s condition has deteriorated badly since, the paper said.
