fighting for his life. Spinks was reportedly hospitalized
for emergency abdominal surgery at a Las Vegas
medical facility, and is in critical his condition due to
complications, according to TMZ. Spinks is known for
the one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, beating
Muhammad Ali in 1978.

asked the public to pray for his friend as he is “facing
the greatest fight of his life,” according to NewsOne.
Spinks’ ex-wife Betty, to whom he was married to for
16 years, claims that Spinks gave her full control over
his medical decisions, although they divorced a
decade ago in 2004, according to TMZ.
As part of their divorce, Leon made an agreement with

recovery, according to TMZ. Spinks had a final boxing
record of 26-14-3.
