A family spokesman for Muhammad Ali says the boxing great has been discharged from a hospital after recovering from a severe urinary tract infection.
Ali spokesman Bob Gunnell says the 72-year-old three-time world heavyweight champion is back home after being discharged from an undisclosed hospital on Tuesday night. Mr. Ali has been waging a battle with Parkinson’s disease for years.
Mr. Ali was hospitalised in December with what was initially believed to be a mild case of pneumonia. But Mr. Gunnell says doctors later determined that Mr. Ali was suffering from a severe urinary tract infection and not pneumonia.
Mr. Gunnell says Mr. Ali has fully recovered and is looking forward to celebrating his birthday on January 17, 2015 with family and friends.
