Boxing legend 'barely breathing' according to reports
REPORTS SUGGEST that Muhammad is "barely breathing." The children of the sporting icon have rushed to be at his bedside as doctors treating the former heavyweight champ have told them they fear he “is near the end”.
Already four of the 74-year-old’s nine children, including daughters Laila, Hana and Maryum, are at the hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona, where medics continue to fight a breathing problem picked up by the star.
Sources close to the star say Ali’s battle with his respiratory problem has been complicated by the Parkinson's that he was diagnosed with in the 1980s.
“Like in the ring, Ali is a fighter on the ward,” said a source. “Doctors are working to regulate his breathing put it is being hampered by his Parkinson’s. “His children are all extremely concerned and dropped everything to be with him. They fear the worse.
“Ali is everything to them and there are worried his problems are worse than first feared.”
