Muhammad Ali is Set For a Final Farewell in The UK

[K-Nan]

All this talk of Ali's impending inabilty to travel just makes me think of how his condition is worsening. And it makes me feel sick, literally. I am gonna cry my eyes out when he leaves us. I mean that.

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali is set to visit the UK one last time in order to say goodbye to the land that recognized him as champion when the rest of the world had turned its back on him. Ali was stripped in 1967 for failing to sign up for the Vietnam War effort; the UK continued to recognize him as champion until 1970. Ali is going to repay this recognition by appearing at fund-raising dinners in Stoke, Manchester, and London. [details]

Would'nt mind going to that myself...
