The 66-year-old’s condition is unclear but friends and family are said to be very concerned.

His wife Brenda spoke out on social media, saying: “Reaching out to ask you to kindly send some prayers out for my Beautiful Husband Leon so that he may overcome the obstacles that have crossed his path.”

Spinks’ son, Leon Spinks III, also took to social media, posting: “As u all know by now i’m a very very private person & I NEVER seek attention or emotional support for the uncontrollable because life seem to throw at me thru social media but this is for the record My Dad isnt doing so good now & his wife Brenda Glur Spinks and I ask that u pray that he weather’s this storm.

“My dad is all I have left and I really appreciate it if yall let God know that he is not in this battle alone.”

“Prayers for Leon and his family,” one concerned supporter tweeted.

“Praying for you champ,” said another.

“Leon Spinks, stay strong,” one wrote.

“Praying for him and his family,” a fourth wrote.

Spinks was hospitalised back in 2014 after a bone from a chicken wing caused damage to his intestines.

The boxer underwent surgery and rehab as part of his recovery.

Spinks is best known for his historic win over Muhammad Ali in 1978.
