Muhammad Ali, known as the “Greatest of All Time” in boxing dies at age 74 while seeking treatment at a hospital in Pheonix.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1984 and battled it for over 30 years. His doctors agreed the disease likely came from years of punches to the head and his career going well past his prime.

Ali has been hospitalized multiple times in recent years, and his family said he was being treated for a respiratory illness.
