Muhammed Ali, the former heavyweight champion, has died after 32 years of battling Parkinson’s disease.
According to NBC News, Ali died at a US hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications.
The pugilist was last seen publicly in April.
In 2014, Ali suffered a severe urinary tract infection, which sparked fears among his supporters.
The last several years had seen the former boxer’s public appearances diminish as he continued to battle the crippling condition.
Recently he was forced to cancel a planned trip to London to open an exhibition on his life.
Aged 74, he retired from boxing in 1981.
