Muhammad Ali said that he plans to follow the advice of his personal physicians and not undergo an experimental form of brain surgery in Mexico to treat his Parkinson’s Syndrome.
In Mexico City Monday night, Ignacio Madrazo, a neurosurgeon, had said that there was a “great chance” he would perform the operation on Ali, who was in Mexico for a sports symposium.
Although Ali declined direct comment on the reports Tuesday night when interviewed at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, longtime friend and business associate Larry Kolb of New York said that Ali had told him he had decided against any operation, for the time being.
