                 Boxing Great Muhammad Ali Returns to Hospital

   by VOA News

   U.S. boxing great Muhammad Ali was back in a hospital Thursday for the
   second time in four weeks.

   He was being given follow-up care related to a urinary tract infection
   that first put him in a hospital December 20.

   A family spokesman declined to give the name or location of the
   hospital or say what day Ali checked in, but he said the three-time
   world heavyweight champion was in stable condition.

   Ali was expected to be released Friday, in time for his birthday on
   Saturday, when he turns 73.

   Ali suffers from Parkinson's disease, which was diagnosed in the
   mid-1980s.

   He had a storied career as a professional heavyweight boxer from 1960
   to 1981.
