Boxing legend Muhammed Ali is preparing for his last trip to the UK.The 67-year-old former heavyweight champion, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, has been advised by doctors to stop flying soon.

During his time here Ali will be appearing at sportsmans' dinners at Old Trafford, Stoke City's Britannia Stadium and Wembley to raise money for The Muhammed Ali Centre in Kentucky.

"The UK is very close to my heart," he said.

"I want to visit one last time not only to raise awareness and funds for the Muhammad Ali Centre, but also to say goodbye in person to such a wonderful country and to all my friends and fans here, in case my health makes such a journey impossible in the future."
