Boxing legend Muhammad Ali has been taken to hospital suffering from pneumonia.
The three-time heavyweight champion, who has Parkinson's disease, was admitted to the unidentified hospital on Saturday morning and is expected to recover.
Pneumonia can be a dangerous complication of the debilitating neurological condition.
"Because the pneumonia was caught early, his prognosis is good with a short hospital stay expected," spokesman Bob Gunnell said in a statement.
He declined to give other details about the 72-year-old's condition and the family have requested privacy.
Ali retired from boxing in 1981 and has devoted his time to charitable and humanitarian work.
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's three years after leaving boxing.
He was seen in public in September at a ceremony for the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards in Louisville, Kentucky.
Ali dazzled the boxing world from 1960 to 1981 with his prowess in the ring and his wit outside it.
He converted to Islam in 1964, changing his name from Cassius Clay, before refusing to join the armed forces in 1967 on religious grounds.
He was convicted of draft dodging and banned from boxing for years, but in 1971 the US Supreme Court overturned the conviction.
