Former world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali spent Thanksgiving with his family in Las Vegas after a spell in hospital just days after attending rival ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier’s funeral.

ESPN reported that the 69 year-old boxing legend was treated by doctors following the incident and is thought to be back to full health upon his release Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center.

"The victim started to pass out in the car and when they got him into the house he fell unconscious," a Police spokesperson explained.

"The 911 tape was filled with details of prescriptions and medical details about the victim who was suffering from an on-going medical condition."

Ali, who turns 70 in January, is the most recognisable figure in the history of the sport after becoming the first fighter to win a version of the heavyweight title on three occasions in 1978.
