The sources report that Ali is on life support, and his condition is so dire that he couldn’t even be moved to a different wing of the Phoenix hospital where is being treated because it could be “potentially deadly.” “Like in the ring, Ali is a fighter on the ward,” said the 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 worst. Ali is everything to them and there are worried his problems are worse than first feared.” h/t globalgrind
