Boxing legend Muhammad Ali's condition has vastly improved after being admitted to hospital on account of being diagnosed with a mild case of pneumonia, according to his spokesman.

Spokesman Bob Gunnell said that the former three-time heavyweight champion, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, was expected to be discharged soon, the BBC reported.

Not disclosing any further details, he further said that Ali's family continued to request privacy and appreciated all of the prayers and well wishes, the report added.

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1984, three years after his retirement from boxing.
