Ali, 72, was admitted to a hospital in an undisclosed
location Saturday morning and is being treated by a team of
doctors and remains in stable condition, spokesman Bob Gunnell
said.
"Because the pneumonia was caught early, his prognosis is good
with a short hospital stay expected," Gunnell said in a
statement.
He declined to give any further details of the boxer's condition
and said Ali's family was asking for privacy.
The boxing great, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, made a
public appearance in September to attend a ceremony in
Louisville, Kentucky, for the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards.
A three-time world heavyweight champion, Ali was diagnosed with
Parkinson's about three years after he retired from boxing in
1981.
