Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali who has been in a Kentucky hospital with a mild case of pneumonia is recovering well.

When Daily Mail spoke with Ali’s daughter Rasheda Ali-Walsh, 44, she said “He’s doing fabulous, he’s quite remarkable. She added: 'We're all so pleased that he's recovering, he's quite the champion.

Ali spokesman Bob Gunnell said today that Ali's doctors hope to discharge him soon from the hospital where he was admitted on Saturday, adding his condition had 'vastly improved'
