However, a new statement released by the legend’s publicist on the Muhammad Ali Center website refuted the claims that the Ali will be supporting any of the boxers.
‘Muhammad Ali would like to wish both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao well in their upcoming fight on May 2, Muhammad never offered to anyone his prediction on the fight. Information that was published earlier this week and picked up by other media is either a misquote or someone else’s personal opinion. The stories saying that Muhammad Ali has chosen a favourite in the fight are false’, the statement reads.
The historic fight will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 2, 2015.
