Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Frazier has liver cancer and is under hospice care.
Frazier, 67, was diagnosed four or five weeks ago, Frazier?s personal and business manager said Saturday. Leslie Wolff said that doctors have not yet told Frazier how long he has to live.
?We have medical experts looking into the all the options that are out there,? Wolff said. ?There are very few. But that doesn?t mean we?re going to stop looking.?
Wolff said Frazier has been in out and out of the hospital since early October and is receiving hospice treatment in his home town of Philadelphia.
Frazier was the first boxer to defeat Muhammad Ali, knocking him down and capturing a decision in the so-called Fight of the Century in 1971.
He would later lose two fights to Ali, including the epic ?Thrilla in Manila? bout in 1975.
In recent years, Frazier had been doing autograph appearances, including one in Las Vegas the weekend of the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Victor Ortiz fight in September.
