Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali dead at age 74

By Emmett Knowlton and Bryan Logan 7 hours ago




cited by Reuters.

"It's extraordinarily grave. It's a matter of hours," the source told the newswire service earlier Friday.

Ali, 74, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the 1980s. He was reportedly being treated for a respiratory problem complicated by the neurological disease, The Associated Press reported.

The news marked a significant apparent downturn for the former boxer. On Thursday, Ali's condition was described as "fair."

Ali has been hospitalized several times over the years, most recently in early 2015. The Hollywood Reporter noted that he has looked "increasingly frail" in public appearances, "including April 9 when he wore sunglasses and was hunched over" during an event in Phoenix.

Ali's daughter, Laila, who was an undefeated boxer, is reportedly among Ali's nine children with him at the hospital in Arizona. She thanked fans for their support and posted a baby picture of her daughter, Sydney, who was born in 2011, being held by the boxing legend.

“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.” - Muhammad Ali
