Muhammad Ali’s doctors release new evidence ‘proving’ boxing trauma did not cause neurological symptoms
His clinical course post-retirement points to early onset idiopathic Parkinson's disease as his primary diagnosis, not boxing-related dementia, they say
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s prominent neurological symptoms — namely, the left-arm rest tremor — were not the result of boxing-related head trauma, his doctors have revealed.
Instead, the medicos who treated him for 20 years after his professional career say “The Greatest” had early-onset idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
