Muhammad Ali in hospital, treated for respiratory issue

A spokesperson said Ali’s prognosis is good.

LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) -- Muhammad Ali is being treated at an Arizona hospital for respiratory issue as a precaution.

The heavyweight-boxing legend, 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, according to Bob Gunnell, who is a family spokesperson.

Gunnell owns Boxcar P.R. in Louisville and he's heading to Phoenix to handle the inquiries into Ali's health.

In December 2014 Ali was hospitalized for seven days in Phoenix, right before Christmas. At that time he was treated for a mild case of pneumonia.
