BOXING legend Muhammad Ali is so ill he could be dead within days, his devastated brother has warned.

Rahman Ali told The Sun his 71-year-old brother - who is known as The Greatest - cannot speak and no...

"He's in a bad way. He's very sick,'' Rahman Ali said.

"It could be months, it could be days. I don't know if he'll last the summer. He's in God's hands."

Former heavyweight boxing champion Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984.

Very sad, my OH follows boxing so I know a fair bit about him, what a loss to his family and also the boxing world.

I do hope he passes quickly, it must be awful for him and his family at this time.

This has been refuted by his family....who have been talking to him. 

They published a pic of him watching the Rose Bowl game on tv last night our time, and enjoing it and horsing around.

I just hope the family is right and not the news report.

I know a number of people who have spent time with him in informal situations  (eg. air crew on international flights) and every one of them said  that he the nicest and warmest person you could hope to meet.

He is a legend.

Honestly, I am a dill sometimes....he was watching the Super Bowl.  The Rose Bowl is west coast.
