Muhammad Ali is reportedly on life support, with family at his bedside.

The boxing great was admitted to hospital yesterday with a respiratory issue for what was expected to be a brief stay.

Reports in the United States said the 74 year old was barely breathing, and family sources confirmed his condition was more serious than in previous stays.

Doctors treating the former heavyweight champ told the family they feared he was near the end.
