'God came for his champion. So long great one': Mike Tyson
Fellow
boxers Mike Tyson and George Foreman were among those who led to
tributes to legendary boxer Muhammad Ali today as news broke of his
death at the age of 74.
The
sportsman died with his family at his side after a 32-year battle with
Parkinson's disease late on Friday evening, a day after he was rushed to
hospital with difficulty breathing.
Known
to many as The Greatest, Ali's popularity transcended the sporting
world, and he was as famous for his work as a humanitarian and freedom
fighter, whose strong beliefs never wavered as he was for his success in
the ring.
Tyson was
among the first of a host of famous names and friends of Ali to pay
tribute to him, taking to Twitter to post a photograph of the pair
together during the 1990s.
He wrote: 'God came for his champion. So long great one.'
