LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Muhammad Ali's latest hospital stay for a severe urinary tract infection ended today, a day before the boxing great celebrates his 73rd birthday.
Ali was released from an undisclosed hospital where he received continued treatment for the same condition that initially put him in the hospital late last month, Ali family spokesman Bob Gunnell said.
The former heavyweight champion returned to one of his homes today, the spokesman said.
"He's home and resting and glad to be out of the hospital," Gunnell said.
Ali and his wife, Lonnie, have homes in Paradise Valley, Ariz.; Berrien Springs, Mich.; and in Louisville.
Ali turns 73 on Saturday and plans to celebrate with family and friends, Gunnell said. The Louisville native plans to watch television and cheer on the Louisville men's basketball team when the Cardinals play host to Duke on Saturday, he said.
