The official Muhammad Ali death cause might still surprise many even years on since the great man departed Earth.
He maybe gone but his legend lives on.
Many always associate Parkinson’s disease with Ali and while that maybe true for later in life it was never actually tied to his boxing career.
Sure, most people put two and two together and they think it was from punches to the head but a doctor never officially said that.
The official Muhammad Ali death cause was not in fact Parkinson’s disease which he had been living with for some time.
It was due to septic shock due to natural causes of old age and wear and tear eventually.
Even a doctor stated afterwards going on medical reports it was not Parkinson’s disease that killed him.
Something UFC President and boxing promoter of Callum Walsh, Dana White, mentioned before too.
To this day Ali is still regarded as the greatest boxer and fighter to ever live by many observers.
That is debatable but in truth Ali was much bigger than boxing or professional sports.
He was bigger than movies.
He was larger than life.
Ali had Parkinson’s for over 30 years it is thought and the fact he lived that long with it was surely his greatest victory more than any in the ring.
The disease was well managed by Ali and his family to live that long.
Ali died at 74 years of age on June 3rd 2016.
Eight years ago, hard to believe.
Time flies.
A legend of Earth, Muhammad Ali.
A true, pure fighter in every aspect it is possible for a man to be a fighter.
A good fighter, Ali.
