The phrase is used to describe someone in very bad condition. It’s often used to describe a person in the worst possible health condition. Typically, a medical team has done all they can when an individual is in this condition. The person is generally close to passing away.
Mirror reports that the former boxer is on life support. His family has been warned that the end is near. With Prince recently passing away, it will be very difficult to lose yet another legendary figure.
His children are by his bedside as doctors attempt to do everything they can for the former heavyweight champion. The 74-year-old has inspired us all to be champions and we hope he can pull through. Here are some little-known facts about Muhammad Ali:
