While boxing legend Ali has been battling an ongoing fight against Parkinson’s Disease for some time, he is now entirely having difficulty speaking. Ali’s brother, Rahman, had the chance to comment on his brother’s deteriorating health at the screening of ‘I Am Ali,’ stating he “has become increasingly frail and is now largely housebound.” OH NO, check out more details after the jump!

The boxing legend, 72, who has been battling debilitating Parkinson’s disease for years, has become increasingly frail and is now largely housebound.

And fresh health fears were sparked after he was too ill to attend the premiere of a new movie about his life last week and could not take part in any of the filming.

Speaking at the screening of I Am Ali in Hollywood, his brother Rahman, 71, told the Sunday People: “I have not been able to talk to my brother about this because he is sick.

“He doesn’t speak too well. But he is proud that we are here for him. He has given this film his blessing.”

While the film looks like a fascinating and touching look back at the life of one of the most impactful public figures of the 20th century, it’s difficult to hear of Ali’s health deteriorating at the same time. Parkinson’s disease has taken a lot from Ali. What it can’t take is his legacy.

Sending Love to Muhammad Ali and his Family !
