Muhammad Ali Has Reportedly Been Hospitalized

That statement—datelined from Phoenix, Arizona—did not offer much further information on Ali’s condition, but ESPN cites AP sources who claim it is more serious than during previous hospital stays in recent years. Ali suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and has checked into hospitals for a severe urinary tract infection and pneumonia since 2014.

Ali is a three-time heavyweight champion, an Olympic Gold Medalist, and a lifetime activist for religious freedom and social justice.

The news has prompted some high-profile well-wishers to reach out:

Prayers & blessings to my idol, my friend, & without question, the Greatest of All Time @MuhammadAli !

Praying for my friend Muhammed Ali who was hospitalized earlier this week. A great man. I’ve been staying in touch with his wife Lonnie.
