Boxing legend Muhammad Ali on Life Support

DHAKA: Muhammad Ali is still in hospital two days after being admitted with a life support.

There has been no official information on Ali's condition and concern has grown throughout Friday, BBC reports on Saturday (June 4).

An enormous number of sympathy messages for the 74-year-old, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, have been posted on social media.

The former heavyweight world champion was admitted to hospital in December 2014 with a urinary tract infection.

Great Britain's newest world champion Tony Bellew has been among those expressing hope for his recovery.

One of the most high-profile global sporting stars, Ali's name transcends sport like few others.

He became the first three-time world heavyweight champion in 1978, having first won the title in 1964 and again in 1974.
