Former boxing champion Joe Frazier close to death with 'terminal' liver cancer

London, Nov 6 (ANI): Former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe Frazier has been diagnosed with liver cancer. According to his manager Leslie Wolf, Frazier, who earned boxing immortality after three epic fights with Muhammad Ali, is in hospice care in Philadelphia. "We have medical experts looking into all the options that are out there," the Telegraph quoted Wolf, as saying. "There are very few. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop looking. We'll just keep our fingers crossed and hope for a miracle," he added. Wolff said Frazier was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago after meeting with more than one doctor. "We are doing everything we can, but I would be a liar if I did not tell you it is very serious," Wolff added. He said that Frazier is in a "very painful and serious situation" but added that, "Joe is a fighter. Joe doesn't give up". Sixty-seven-year-old Frazier won the Olympic heavyweight boxing gold medal for the United States in 1964 in Tokyo and held the world heavyweight boxing crown from 1970 to 1973. He won the first of three classic bouts with Muhammad Ali, the so-called Fight of the Century, in New York in 1971. (ANI)
