The final photo... as The Greatest fight is over: Frail Muhammad Ali in last appearance two months before dying of septic shock as his wife, nine children and brother start battle over his $80m fortune


Fans of Muhammad Ali were shocked to see how frail the boxer looked at his last public appearance at the Celebrity Fight Night XXII event in Phoenix in April, where he was photographed with singer Carrie Underwood. 'The Greatest' passed away yesterday morning in a simple second-storey hospital room in Scottsdale, Arizona, after suffering with Parkinson's disease and, finally, a respiratory illness. But even as President Barack Obama led the tributes to the man whose personality transcended his sport, a legal fight over Ali's estimated $80million (£55million) fortune had already begun.
