Former champion Leon Spinks hospitalized
FORMER heavyweight champion Leon Spinks is in a Las Vegas hospital after a second operation for abdominal problems.
The 61-year-old boxer, who catapulted to fame by beating Muhammad Ali in 1978, had the second surgery in recent days after complications from the first emergency surgery, his wife said. “It’s going to be a long road ahead, but he’s strong and he’s starting to recover,” Brenda Spinks said. Spinks and younger brother Michael both won Olympic gold medals in 1976 in different weight classes and went on to become heavyweight champions.
