MUHAMMAD ALI has been taken to hospital with a respiratory problem - but is said to be in a "fair condition".

The 74-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world has long suffered from Parkinson's disease.

A statement from his family spokesman revealed The Greatest is expected to stay in care for a "brief" time.

Bob Gunnell said: "Ali, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, is being treated by his team of doctors and is in fair condition.

"A brief hospital stay is expected. At this time, the Muhammad Ali family respectfully requests privacy."

Ali was last seen in public in April at a Celebrity Fight Night charity event in Phoenix, Arizona, US.

He was too ill to visit London earlier this year after the opening of his I am the Greatest exhibition at the O2.

The three-time heavyweight champ was taken to hospital in January last year after he was found in an "unresponsive state" by guests at his home.
