Boxing legend Muhammad Ali is back home after being hospitalized with a severe urinary tract infection, according to the Associated Press. He was released from an undisclosed hospital Tuesday night.
The three-time world heavyweight champion was hospitalized Dec. 20 with what was initially believed to be a mild case of pneumonia. Doctors later determined Ali had a severe urinary tract infection and not pneumonia, family spokesman Bob Gunnell said Wednesday.
Ali, who has had Parkinson's disease for years, is looking forward to celebrating his 73rd birthday on Jan. 17 with his family and friends, Gunnell said.
"He's in great spirits and enjoying being back home," Gunnell said. "He's back in his daily routine."
